“Veganuary” is now an old hand among New Year’s resolutions. As part of the campaign month, the organization of the same name would like to motivate people to eat a vegan diet – that is, free of animal products – in January for the eleventh time. Plenty of information and recipes are provided to ideally inspire people to adopt a vegan diet in the long term.

But whether vegan in the long term or just now and then: plant-based alternatives to conventional dishes containing animal products are enjoying growing popularity. You don’t always have to resort to substitute products, but you can conjure up aromatic dishes from whole foods.

This recipe for a vegan Bolognese made from sunflower seeds, for example, not only has an intense taste, is easy to make and quick to prepare, but is also rich in healthy fats, vegetable protein as well as B vitamins and vitamin E. A true all-rounder.

Tip: If the sauce is too thick after cooking, add a little pasta water
