Classic Italian comfort food, perfected for plant-based cooking
Italian cooking is all about celebrating quality ingredients, and plant-based versions are no exception. From silky cashew alfredo to hearty lentil bolognese, vegan Italian dishes capture the essence of la dolce vita. Many traditional Italian recipes are already vegan or easily adapted - think pasta with garlic and olive oil, marinara sauce, and bruschetta.
Cashews, cauliflower, and nutritional yeast create rich, creamy sauces that rival any traditional alfredo or carbonara.
Basil, oregano, rosemary, and thyme are the heart of Italian cooking - fresh herbs make vegan dishes sing.
Pasta, olive oil, tomatoes, garlic, and bread - Italian cuisine is built on naturally plant-based ingredients.
Blend raw cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt for an authentic parmesan flavor. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
The starchy pasta water is liquid gold! Reserve a cup before draining - it helps sauces cling to pasta and adds silky body to any dish.
Add dried herbs early in cooking for depth, but finish with fresh herbs (especially basil) for brightness. Fresh herbs lose flavor when cooked too long.
Use good extra virgin olive oil for finishing dishes and dressings. Save cheaper oils for high-heat cooking where subtle flavors get lost.
