Here’s a delicious shiitake mushroom pasta recipe with an Asian spin. Embellished with napa cabbage, bell pepper, and scallions, it’s a quick noodle dish flavored with ginger, readymade teriyaki sauce, and an optional blast of Chinese black bean sauce.
What kind of noodles to use: Use any kind of long noodle — my favorite for this dish are udon, but you can also use wide Chinese wheat noodles or even ordinary linguine.
Is pasta e lenticchie a Sicilian speciality, or is it Neopolitan? I’ve seen claims for both. But whatever the origin of this classic Italian lentil and pasta recipe, it’s an easy everyday kind of dish.
By swapping in plant-based milk and dairy-free Parmesan, it’s easy to make an already vegetarian dish completely vegan. Budget-friendly and plentiful, you’ll enjoy having it on your cool-weather rotation.
Easy dairy-free jalapeño creamed corn recipe is a perfect summer side dish. Jalapeño creamed corn is a classic side dish that’s best made with fresh corn in season (though we won’t object if you use good quality frozen corn, off season).
The most time-consuming part of this recipe, by which I mean all of 5 to 10 minutes, is stripping the corn kernels off the cob. It’s so worth it as a wonderful way to use fresh corn when it’s still abundant, and the novelty of having it on the cob or roasted has worn off.
A fantastic way to slow down and enjoy the warm season is to take a delectable picnic to a scenic location. Here are some fun vegan picnic lunch ideas, with links to recipes and practical tips for making the most of your outdoor meal.
