This main Valentine's Day collection is full of dishes that are simple and guaranteed to please.

1. Vegan Mushroom Alfredo

You can never go wrong with a creamy, garlicky pasta recipe! My vegan Fettuccine Alfredo is not only delicious but it's also one of those romantic vegan dinner recipes that feels fancy but is secretly super easy to make.

I blend cauliflower, cashews, and nutritional yeast to create a rich, velvety sauce that coats every bite of pasta. The mushrooms add that meaty texture, making this dish feel hearty and satisfying like an Alfredo mushroom stroganoff.

2. Vegan Crab Cakes

If you’re looking for impressive vegan Valentines dinner recipes, my vegan crab cakes are a total showstopper. I use a combination of hearts of palm and chickpeas to mimic the flaky texture of traditional crab cakes and my homemade Old Bay Chesapeake seasoning.

They’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. If you like spice, my vegan chipotle mayo is the perfect finishing touch.

3. Sesame Soy Baked Tofu

My sesame soy baked tofu is always a hit and super easy to make. The tofu soaks up a rich marinade of sesame oil, soy sauce, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger, and then bakes until crispy on the outside and tender inside.

This is one of my favorite simple vegan Valentines dinner recipes. I love pairing it with steamed rice and stir-fried veggies.

It’s one of those dishes that prove tofu can be anything but a boring midweek meal.

4. Vegan Mushroom Bourguignon

This vegan mushroom bourguignon is comfort food at its finest. Earthy mushrooms, sweet carrots, and tender onions simmer in a rich red wine sauce until everything is infused with deep, bold flavors.

It’s a dish that feels slow-cooked and indulgent, which makes it a great romantic vegan valentine recipe. I love serving it over creamy mashed potatoes or polenta for the ultimate vegan main course.

5. Vegan Gumbo

My vegan gumbo is packed with bold spices, hearty vegetables, and a rich, dark roux that gives it incredible depth. It’s the kind of dish that warms you up from the inside out and feels like a big hug.

If you’re looking for something different this Valentine’s Day, this dish is a great way to spice things up!

A Wellington is the kind of dish that makes an entrance. Wrapped in flaky puff pastry, the tofu is coated in a savory mushroom and herb filling that gives it incredible flavor.

Who doesn’t love a plate of spaghetti and meatballs? My vegan gluten-free meatballs are made with a mix of tempeh and chickpeas, giving them the perfect hearty texture.

This vegan creamy mushroom lentil risotto is sheer perfection. The creamy texture comes from slowly stirring arborio rice in a rich vegetable broth, while the mushrooms and smoky lentils add a hearty, meaty feel.
