🧄 Mediterranean penne


Hi Reader,

Now that zucchini is season here in California, I've been experimenting with different ways to enjoy it.

One of my favorites is Mediterranean Penne.

It features tender summer squash, sweet cherry tomatoes, and buttery pine nuts, along with garlic and balsamic for seasoning.

And it's easy to make in 30 minutes!

Love and Veggies,

Amy

P.S. If you're a fan of my vegan Mediterranean diet recipes and want to learn more about the lifestyle, I have something special coming later this summer. 😉

If you haven’t used silken tofu before, it has a soft, custard-like texture and works beautifully in chilled dishes like this one. And if ume plum vinegar is new to you, don’t worry. I included tips and an easy substitution in the post. The whole salad comes together in about 15...

Mushroom tacos topped with chimichurri and sliced avocado.

Hi Reader, Taco night just got a little herby. These vegan mushroom tacos are filled with garlicky sauteed mushrooms and topped with homemade chimichurri sauce. They’re simple, saucy, and ready in about 25 minutes. I love how the mushrooms make a savory filling, while the chimichurri adds a bright, tangy finish with parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.
