⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
Aiva Products Bread Crumbs
See all
¼ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened oat milk, measured 1:1. It works well in drinks, batters, sauces, and soups; avoid it where milk sets the texture, like custards, puddings, and frozen desserts.
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

For the pan sauce

1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
½ tsp dried oregano
½ tsp kosher salt

For serving

fresh basil leaves, torn (optional)
grated parmesan cheese, for serving (optional)
Chef's tip
Choose a grated-style vegan parmesan and use the same amount.
