Vegan Shakshuka with Scarlett Rocourt
Vegan Shakshuka with Scarlett Rocourt

I invited Vegan Lifestyle Blogger Scarlett Rocourt to the Cucina to show us how to veganize one of my favorite breakfast dishes. Shakshuka, (or for my Italians, Uove in Pergatorio) is a Mediterranean dish that involves poaching eggs in a tomato based sauce. Almost every country around the Mediterranean has their own version of this dish. But Scarlett came up with a GREAT way to create a vegan "egg" to use!

Pastina Soup
Pastina Soup

If you grew up in an Italian home and so much as sniffled, you were immediately served a warm bowl of pasting soup! Know as "Italian Penicillin" this simple soup is so comforting if you have a cold (or the flu!). Easy to digest, packed with nutrients and a touch of protein from the egg; it's just what the doctor - and Nonnas all over - ordered! Stay well my friends!
