New year, same me is the vibe for 2021! I am all about taking things that I love and transforming them into an alternative version of itself to help drive toward my own nutritional goals.
When I am craving pasta, I am usually craving Penne alla Vodka. This time around, I’m taking a dairy-free spin with cashew cream as my heavy whipping cream substitute, combined with the most delicious Tuttorosso San Marzano Style Chopped Tomatoes in Puree with Sea Salt.
I love Tuttorosso Tomatoes because they drive toward my goal of having quality food you can taste and see without any GMOs or artificial ingredients. I am all about eating clean and eating quality food this year, and these tomatoes are my key ingredient for this recipe!
This luscious Dairy-Free Penne alla Vodka became a favorite when I made it for my family this winter! I love this sauce, as it’s an Italian comfort food that I learned to enjoy as an adult and hope to share it as a comfort classic traditional recipe that I can share for years to come!
