FAQs
Q: What is a Vegan "Marry Me" Recipe?
A "Marry Me" recipe is a dish (like pasta or a creamy entrée) that’s so delicious, it could inspire a marriage proposal! The traditional versions contain dairy and chicken, but vegan versions use plant-based alternatives for the same rich, flavorful experience.
Q: What Can I Use Instead of Dairy in a Vegan "Marry Me" Recipe?
You can replace heavy cream with:
- Coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)
- Cashew cream (blended soaked cashews + water)
- Almond or oat milk (unsweetened)
- Blended silken tofu (for a thicker sauce)
Q: What’s the Best Substitute for Chicken?
- Chickpeas (for a wholesome, protein-rich option)
- Mushrooms (like oyster or portobello for a meaty texture)
- Tofu or tempeh (marinated for flavor)
- Soy curls or seitan (for a more chicken-like bite)
Q: How Do You Get a Rich, Umami Flavor Without Cheese?
- Nutritional yeast (adds a cheesy taste)
- Miso paste (adds depth and saltiness)
- Tahini (for creaminess and a nutty taste)
- Sun-dried tomatoes (for a concentrated umami punch)
Q: Can I Make Vegan "Marry Me" Recipes Gluten-Free?
Yes! Use gluten-free pasta, chickpea flour for thickening, and tamari instead of soy sauce (if applicable).
Q: What’s the Best Pasta for Vegan "Marry Me" Dishes?
- Rigatoni or penne (holds sauce well)
- Fettuccine or linguine (for a more elegant dish)
- Gluten-free pasta (brown rice, quinoa, or lentil-based)

- Garlic & onion powder
- Smoked paprika
- Italian seasoning

- Black salt (Kala Namak, for an eggy, umami depth)
Q: Can I Make a Vegan "Marry Me" Sauce Ahead of Time?
Yes! The sauce stores well in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container. Reheat on low heat and add a splash of plant milk if needed.
Q: Can I make it soy-free?
A: Swap tofu for chickpea flour scramble and use a mushroom-based steak alternative.
Top Tip
For extra-rich flavor, let the tofu scramble sit for a couple of minutes before serving to absorb the seasonings fully.

Pair this dish with toasted sourdough or a side of crispy potatoes for the ultimate brunch experience!
