Veganmadre has a really great lasagna recipe and pizza dough with white pizza sauce recipes posted and CG has a great creamy sauce recipe for pasta posted.

Slice some tomatoes, put them on a plate, sprinkle some peper and provincial herbs over the tomatoes, and sprinkle some olive oil over the tomatoes. And voila, tomatolia tastia goodia.

I use the cheeze sauce recipe below to mix with mashed tofu for a great shell/lasagna stuffing. You can add chopped spinach & other veggies to make it even more filling.

 

I use 1/2 the cheeze sauce recipe for one block of tofu.

 

Cheeze Sauce

 

7 oz. jar roasted red pepper, drained

1 1/2 cups raw cashews

3/4 cup water

2/3 cup nutritional yeast flakes (or savory yeast)

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce or Braggs amino's

1 1/2 tablespoons tahini

 

Put all ingredients in a blender & blend till smooth.

 

This makes more than I usually need at one time, so I freeze half of it & it defrosts just fine. A friend on another forum made it with no water & used it as a spread to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

 

 

There is a recipe book called 150 Vegan Favorites by Jay Solomon. In it he has a terrific red garlic sauce recipe. If you're interested, I'll post it. It is very easy & makes enough for shells or lasagna or pizza!

Oh, could I get that garlic sauce recipe from you?

I don't know the exact measurements:

grape tomatoes

olive oil

garlic

pasta

salt/pepper

 

1. cut and squeeze tomatoes.

2. eat tomatoes

3. buy more tomatoes and repeat (but don't eat them this time!!!)

4. toss with olive oil and salt/pepper

 

Ok, this is where I have NO idea how to make this. My uncle (this is his recipe) usually cooks up the garlic with the tomatoes (in the oven), so I guessing that whatever you cook garlic at you can cook the tomatoes.

 

5. cook until garlic is ready

6. toss with pasta

 

mmmmm..... my favorite dish!!!

I just did the above recipe tonight, but also added slightly steamed squash (your choice of yellow or zucchini) and fresh parsley. I tossed with an olive oil vinaigrette (with basil). I didn't have grape tomatoes on hand so I chopped an organic tomato and used lots of garlic. Mmmmm, very yummy. (pasta was also high fiber whole wheat spirals). I served it with sliced peaches today (because I was short a serving to complete my day) but I imagine a baby spinach side salad would go well with it.
