How Do I Make This Creamy Dairy Free Tomato Sauce Without Cashews?

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. On a sheet pan, add the olive oil, cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and tofu.  Toss well to combine, making sure to coat all the tomatoes, tofu, and onions with the oil and spices.

Make Pasta Sauce Dairy Free for a Healthy Version

This dairy free pasta sauce is a fantastic take on the classic without milk or cream. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps. 

By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my plant based recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.
