II. TASTY BOWTIE PASTA IN RED BASIL SAUCE
Plant based whole food eating never tasted so good! Bowtie Pasta in Red Basil Sauce is a hardy meal that will feed a whole family or provide a single eater a week’s worth of meals. The recipe above has Veggie meatballs and vegan sausage to add a boost of flavor to the sauce. I used Gardein Plant-Based, Vegan Classic Meatless Meatballs and Morning Star Veggie sausage but there are many options available that are amazing! I swear I could not taste the difference between this dish and the pasta I used to make for my kids years ago with real hamburger meat, only that it’s less heavy and cleaner tasting, if that makes sense. This dish is wonderful to feed a crowd because it makes 8-10 servings and is easily freezable for those on the go lunches.
INGREDIENTS
1 can of crushed tomatoes , 28 oz can
1 can of tomato sauce, 14 oz can
5-6 cloves of garlic

III. SALMON PASTA WITH CAPERS AND CILANTRO
This is one of my go to meals when I need to feel nourished. For some reason, pasta is the only thing that really makes me satisfied when Iām hungry, which is a common occurrence since my shift to a more plant based whole food diet. The combination of flavors in this easy dish is very unique and enticing. I almost feel like Iām eating out of a bodega in Spain.

Ā½ jar of capers
1 cup of cilantro, chopped
