This hearty, penne with spicy zucchini tomato sauce is an old standby I’ve been making for years. When I went vegan 2 years ago, I eliminated the shredded mozzarella I used to smother it with (don’t need it!) and when I learned the faux sausage I had been using wasn’t vegan, I replaced it with Upton’s Naturals Italian Sausage. Another great alternative is The Stallion from No Evil Foods.
You can make easy substitutions and additions to this recipe based on what’s in your kitchen. It can be something simple like switching out red peppers with green peppers or red onion for yellow onion or, if you aren’t a fan of seitan, replace it with sliced crimini mushrooms.
This recipe is plant-based.
