This vegan version of the classic North African scramble uses soft silken tofu instead of eggs without any sacrifice of flavor.

Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Sofrito Bolognese
An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.

Saucy Mushroom Stir-Fry
Any variety of mushroom will love this glossy, tangy sauce.
