Many folks drawn to making vegan dishes might already know some of the tricks to making a great dairy-free mac & cheese, but if you haven’t heard them yet: nutritional yeast is key, soymilk and tofu add a decadent, silky bite, and mustard, although optional in this recipe, is a big, big flavor-booster
What’s lasagn a without ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan? To an Italian, it’s a travesty. To a vegan or someone with food allergies, it’s a delicious, healthy, one-dish meal that’s bound to also please the meat and dairy-lovers among us. This lasagna in particular has little details that make it special: lots of vegetables, creamy tofu flavored with basil and lemon juice, and toasty pine nuts.

It’s hard to beat a rich and creamy Alfredo sauce over fresh pasta. It’s also something that you may have ruled out in your vegan journey. Fortunately, the creamy, smooth flavor of Alfredo is a taste that can be replicated without the addition of dairy products. Not only that, it can be whipped together in less than 15 minutes.
