Tuscan Vibes, Plant-Based Style: Turning a Classic Italian Dish Vegan

Choose a Base Dish – Start with a classic like Ribollita, Pasta alla Puttanesca, or a rustic White Bean Stew.

Use Quality Olive Oil – A good extra virgin olive oil brings out that rich, Tuscan flavor.

Substitute Meat with Legumes – Use cannellini beans or lentils in place of sausage or beef.

Homemade Tomato Sauce – Slow-cooked tomatoes with garlic, onion, and olive oil taste better than anything from a jar.

Ditch Dairy with Nutritional Yeast – For a cheesy touch, sprinkle nutritional yeast or use a cashew-based "parmesan."

Fresh Veggies are Key – Tuscan cuisine celebrates what's in season. Think zucchini, kale, and carrots.

Use Plant-Based Pasta – Most dried pasta is already egg-free, but double-check the label.

Serve with Rustic Bread – A hearty, crusty loaf is essential for soaking up all that flavor.
