Spicy Marinara Sauce
This spicy marinara sauce comes together in a snap and tastes terrific. Use good quality canned tomatoes because they’re going to make all the difference. Made with onion, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning, and loads of red pepper flakes, it’s super tasty and also pretty spicy.
My goal still is to show people that vegan food can be delicious, fun, easy, accessible, kid-friendly, and reminiscent of the foods they grew up on. My all-time favorites range from Southern twists based on my childhood in Louisiana to comfort dishes inspired by my hometown of Fresno, California, which is deeply rooted in Hispanic culture and Mexican cuisine.—Ashley Hankins
