When we say ”Italian Ragú” we mean a nice red sauce with meat! But I want to look away from traditional thinking and let you try the walnuts ragú. Its look is like meat ragú. Without doing it on purpose, popped out a vegan and veggie recipe (avoiding the Parmesan).
One of the difference from the unique ragú of Grandma, we cook the walnuts sauce in half of half of the time. Only 25 minutes and it’s ready. Yes I love it!
I have a nuts dependence, voluntarily I tend to forget that they’re a caloric bomb; but they have so many benefits that it’s nice, sometime, to enjoy the nuts time…
A few days ago I received a box of organic fruits and vegetables, Italian, from VITA (London). When the delivery man came knocking with that box full of wonders, I felt at home. Yes, I know was already at home… I meant in Italy…!! OK, enough with the boring nostalgia!
What was inside?
Broccoli, cabbage, plum tomatoes, radishes, oranges, kiwi, melon, lettuce, fennel and a packet of lemon and pistachio Cantucci (biscuits).
All good things and very tasty… but tomatoes, those tomatoes… that in England smelling like Italian countryside… I was moved.
Veggie and fruit box from VITA
Therefore for the blog I choosed, of course, the tomatoes and I cooked a delicious nuts ragout. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to discover new tastes, for those who follow a diet low in meat. The recipe is also perfect for vegan and vegetarian people. For everyone!

-
Fresh San Marzano (plum) tomatoes (by VITA)

Then add the diced plum tomatoes, basil, salt and cook for about 25 minutes on medium heat. After cooking, season with black pepper.
