These 16 vegan pasta recipes are comforting, flavorful, hearty, and satisfying! Most of these vegan pasta dishes are very easy to make and use plant-based pantry ingredients. They’re perfect for all occasions!
If you are a pasta lover, you will probably fall in love with these delicious vegan pasta recipes! And it doesn’t matter if you are a meat-eater, vegetarian or pescetarian. I got you covered with these tasty pasta dishes that do not lack flavor! They can be enjoyed throughout the week or on weekends.
Which Type Of Pasta?
All of these vegan pasta recipes can be made gluten-free by using gluten-free pasta. Nowadays you can buy quinoa pasta, rice pasta, corn pasta, etc. There is even pasta made from legumes (e.g. chickpea pasta, lentil pasta, etc.) which is not only gluten-free but also grain-free. It’s also higher in protein and the healthiest option in my opinion.
However, any pasta type is fine. If you are not a celiac and prefer a budget-friendly option, feel free to use regular wheat-based pasta.
Vegan Pasta Recipes For Everyone
Whether you love creamy pasta like Vegan Alfredo, cheesy pasta like Vegan Mac And Cheese, a spicy Thai Noodle Soup, a comforting Vegan Pasta Bake, or a Vegan Lasagna, you will find all of these options in the below list.
Most of these vegan pasta recipes are also kid-friendly. If a recipe calls for red pepper flakes or chili/cayenne pepper, simply leave it out and add a pinch later over your own pasta bowl (if you love spicy food).
Without further ado, let’s check out the following 16 vegan pasta dishes. Click on the picture or the title to get straight to the recipe.
