This rich, creamy, can’t-believe-it-has-no-eggs carbonara won’t leave you indifferent. Here, the traditional Roman dish gets reimagined in our vegan version with a mind-blowing “egg” sauce. Luscious, peppery and utterly addictive, this vegan carbonara recipe is as delicious as it is simple. Sub the tofu bits for some store-bought vegan bacon for an extra speedy version!
