“Garlicky shrimp” is my official favorite word pairing. I often find that when pasta recipes include shrimp, the petite protein-packed shellfish lacks serious flavor. Here, four cloves of garlic do the trick and send a major punch throughout this dish.

Obviously, a crunchy, toasty bread (take your pick) is the perfect utensil replacement.

Green Shakshuka

Traditional shakshuka features a spicy, tomato-based sauce. But in the spirit of switching things up every so often, this version leans on spinach and cream for a vibrant, fresh-tasting spin. If your fridge needs a good clean-out, this is the recipe to make.

As a recent tomato fan (used to hate them, sorry), I’m all about bruschetta as an appetizer. This classic bruschetta is, well, classic. All it takes is fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar to bring those bruschetta dreams to life. Oh, and toasty sourdough to house these gorgeous toppings. It’s a crowd-pleasing appetizer that you definitely can’t go wrong with!

Vegan Pesto

I like to call this one “anytime pesto” because it takes about ten minutes to go from blender to bowl and enhances just about anything you pair it with. You could use this to top bruschetta, pair with crudités, or as a “sauce” option with your Easter spread. Whichever way you choose to take it, be sure to top this pesto with lots of toasted pine nuts and fresh basil.

You can serve these alongside a vegan main or eat them as-is—either way is stunning.
