"Thanks to @redgoldtomatoes and @thefeedfeed, we have a new favorite pasta recipe! #ad We made an incredible veganized version of Red Gold’s Spicy Italian Vodka Rigatoni—which you guys selected from our Story Polls! Make sure to vote in our upcoming round of polls to help us choose the Red Gold recipe we make next!
Red Gold’s award-winning quality tomatoes were the star of our pasta. The brand has even won a ChefsBest® award for their quality. All their tomatoes are picked from the vine at the peak of ripeness and Steam Packed Fresh, so no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives are necessary. Red Gold’s flavor-packed tomatoes provide irresistible sweetness and acidity to our creamy sauce, while the vodka added a welcome kick.
It was a cinch to veganize Red Gold’s recipe by replacing the half and half with vegan milk, the Parmesan with vegan Parmesan, and the hot ground sausage with a spicy vegan Italian sausage. Find the original recipe on the Red Gold website and our veganized version on our blog.
We purchased our Red Gold tomatoes at our local @krogerco. Follow this link to locate a store near you: https://ff.recipes/find-RedGold"
