Start by making the sauce from scratch using canned tomatoes.

Pour a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil into a skillet.

Add 1 Vidalia onion, 1 shallot, and chopped yellow and orange bell peppers to the skillet.

Slice garlic and add it to the skillet; cook for about 2 minutes until translucent.

Add pureed tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato sauce to the skillet.

Add cherry tomatoes with juice to the mixture.

Season the sauce with golden chick seasoning, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and a little salt.

Add garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, balsamic vinegar, and sugar to the sauce.

Mix in vegan beef bouillon and fresh parsley and basil.

Add water to dilute the sauce and bring it to a boil; cover and simmer for a minimum of 3 hours.

While the sauce is simmering, prepare the homemade ricotta using firm tofu.

Crush the firm tofu in a bowl.

Add vegan cream cheese and mix well to achieve a ricotta-like consistency.

Incorporate vegan cheese into the ricotta mixture.
