Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, tempeh or extra-firm tofu work well—cut into strips and sauté as directed.

No, seitan contains gluten. Use gluten-free tofu and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free for a gluten-free version.

For a true one-pot version, add 6 oz of small pasta with an additional cup of broth, simmer until tender, then proceed with the sauce and spinach.

Use vegan sour cream and ensure your seitan is egg- and dairy-free.
