Cacio e Pepe is traditionally pasta made with parmesan cheese and black peppercorns plus either butter or olive oil. We have kept the black peppercorns and offered vegan parmesan as an option, but truthfully, the porcini cashew butter gives this dish so much flavor that you may decide to enjoy it without the parm! This dish demonstrates the versatility of mushrooms. Whether they’re blended versus whole or baked versus sautéed or enjoyed solo versus part of an elaborate dish, they have so much to offer!

Oyster mushrooms stand in for meat or seafood in this comfort-style sandwich that hails from Louisiana. The mushrooms make the ideal substitution due to their meaty texture and delicate flavor, taking on the seasonings you add to them. When breaded then baked, they transform into a crispy delight that, when paired with all the fixings and wrapped in a whole grain baguette, tastes exquisite!

No need to ever order takeout again. Crunchy broccoli, crispy tofu, and sweet and spicy peanut sauce come together to make a deliciously nourishing bowl packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Enjoy this heart healthy, fiber rich, and protein packed dish that is so tasty, it’s restaurant-worthy!

Lo mein may be one of the most popular Asian wok meals on the planet and for good reason. Noodles tossed in a savory sauce with crunchy veggies and hearty (plant-based) protein are fun to eat, not to mention absolutely delicious. These Veggie Lo Mein noodles are just as satisfying as the restaurant version, but with even more colors, textures, and nutrition for you (and your body!) to enjoy!

Does curry count as stir-fry? You bet it does! Coconut Red Curry Tempeh and Veggies takes inspiration from classic Thai curry dishes, but our version is lighter and, most likely, more nutritious. Creamy, light coconut milk is combined with red curry paste and tamarind to create a velvety sweet and slightly spicy cooking sauce that is delightful in this one-wok meal. Red curry paste contains ingredients such as ginger and lemongrass, which have anti-inflammatory, gut-loving, and immune-supporting properties. Toss it with protein- and fiber-packed tempeh plus broccoli (or any veggies you love or would love to use up!) for a meal that is creamy, dreamy, and delicious.

Crispy tofu, tender broccoli, and sweet chili sauce make a delicious weeknight meal (the leftovers are even better!). Spoon it over organic brown rice, mix it with your favorite noodles, or top it with extra Sweet Chili Sauce for more of that somethin’ somethin’ that makes this dish so special!

If there’s a dish to convince your family that plant-based meals can be nutritious AND delicious it’s Cheesy Artichoke and Asparagus Penne. The array of colors, from the tomatoes to the artichoke to the spinach and the green onion, give this vibrant dish vast antioxidant power. What’s more, this dish is packed with gut-loving prebiotic fiber from the legume pasta, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, and garlic. Cheesy Artichoke and Asparagus Penne may be able to coin the mantra, “Eat pasta — heal your gut!”

One of the beautiful things about this wrap is that you can use any veggies from your fridge or growing from your garden to make it your own. Beginning the day with leafy greens, like kale, collards, or romaine is the perfect way to jump-start your morning with nutrition. Once you spread the hummus on your green wrap, start adding your favorite veggies — and get ready for some creamy crunch to stimulate your palate and a variety of nutrients to energize your body!

One way to uplevel just about any meal is to add a delicious and nutritious plant-based dressing or sauce. Carrot Ginger Dressing is bursting with flavor while adding healing carotenoids from the carrots, gingerol from the ginger, and prebiotic fiber from the shallots. Not to mention, the dressing is over-the-top scrumptious! Drizzle it over dark leafy greens, like kale, then add all of your favorite colorful veggies like radish, cucumber, beets, and avocado. Or, get creative by using any veggies growing in your backyard or that you need to use from the fridge!
