Save A vibrant, plant-based twist on popular viral recipes, swapping traditional cheeses or meats with tofu and other vegan alternatives for a delicious, satisfying meal.
I first tried making this after seeing the original viral version online and wanted a healthier, plant-based alternative my family could enjoy together. Every time I serve it, no one even misses the cheese or meat!

Instructions
