By Team Dirty
Apr 18, 2025
Want to eat like you’re lounging on a sun-drenched patio in Tuscany without booking the flight? Well, you’re in for a trip, since Trattoria is our plant-based meal plan inspired by the no-fuss, flavor-rich magic of humble Italian trattorias.
This plan is about bold, satisfying WFPB meals that keep things simple but never boring. Think accessible ingredients, classic tastes, and zero meat or dairy. Just traditional meals that make you do a little happy dance after every bite.

Gourmet Plant-Based Meal Plan
Kick things off with an Heirloom Tomato Bisque and Toscana Salad, a combo that hits like a summer afternoon, no matter where you are. The bisque is smooth, tangy, and full of tomato goodness, while the salad brings the crunch and a bright zing that keeps your fork going back for more.
Eggplant Parm Stacks are everything you love about the classic dish—flavorful, saucy, and stacked—done with a Dirty twist that hits just right. This version ditches the dairy without sacrificing that comforting “yes, I want seconds” vibe.
When you’re craving something fresh and filling, Warm Roasted Beet Salad with Whipped Ricotta shows up with earthy-sweet beets, aromatic herbs, and a creamy ricotta (plant-based, of course) that’s perfect for swiping up every last bite. It’s the kind of meal that feels fancy without trying.
Rigatoni al Sugo Rosa (Rigatoni with Pink Sauce) brings the carbs and the comfort with a velvety sauce that straddles the line between tomatoey and creamy in the best possible way. It’s cozy, it’s rich, and you’ll want to have it weekly.
And finally, the Italian “Sausage” & Mushroom Flatbread keeps things crispy and satisfying, with savory, herby tofu sausage and juicy mushrooms layered on a chewy, golden crust. This one’s made for Friday nights, stretchy pants, and spending time with someone you love.
Honestly, this is so good. If you have all the components made, it’s dinner in 10 minutes!
