Vegan Spaghetti Pomodoro a la Audrey Hepburn
Happy New Year from Ravenous Vegans! We want to kick off 2017 by sharing with you one of our very favorite recipes: a delicious spaghetti pomodoro. This recipe came to us early on in our vegan lifestyle when Beastie Vegan was paging through a People Magazine (of all things…random.) and found this recipe from none other than Audrey Hepburn’s son, who claimed this was his mother’s personal and absolute favorite pasta recipe. Did you know Ms. Hepburn had a pasta fetish? Neither did we! As the story goes, pasta was her most beloved dish and she would request it all the time, in any given situation–in her adorable and humbly sweet way. She’s a woman after our own lustful (for spaghetti) hearts and her recipe is simple, yet absolutely satisfying and flavorful. Of course, it calls for parmesan cheese at the end but we left that out and still have an amazing dish that’s even healthier and won’t stand in the way of keeping your body sexy. Beastly and Beastie Vegan both have their own preferred method of preparing the sauce (Beastie subs the canned tomatoes for 3 lbs of fresh heirloom tomatoes, as Ms. Hepburn supposedly did) but they’re both equally tasty. Try it both ways and tell us what you think!
