Vegan cheese is an excellent alternative to dairy-based cheese, as it is nut-based and provides plenty of healthy monounsaturated fats. Tomatoes are loaded with antioxidants and help promote both heart and brain health. Not only will basil add flavor to this recipe, but it will also help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. Enjoy!
