5 Veggie-Packed Vegan Pasta Recipes
- Tempeh Pasta Salad: Start with a batch of cooked zucchini penne pasta. Pair marinated and cooked tempeh slices and chopped vegetables with the chilled pasta. Toss with a homemade or store-bought balsamic vinaigrette and vegan parmesan for the perfect potluck dish or packed workday lunch.
- Tahini Puttanesca: Load up homemade or store-bought marinara with sliced olives, chunky tomatoes, diced garlic, salty capers, and chili peppers. Serve over sweet potato penne, and top with a drizzle of tahini for that added dairy-free creaminess.
- Minestrone Pasta: Saute diced onions, carrots, celery, garlic, and additional vegetables of choice until soft. Add crushed canned tomatoes, canned kidney beans, and a small amount of vegetable broth. Serve the chunky soup-inspired mixture over cauliflower penne and enjoy!
- Carbonara-inspired Pasta Bowl: Cook zucchini spaghetti pasta. Then toss it with vegan butter, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, and a bit of leftover pasta water. Combine the dish with sauteed onions, garlic, peas, and chopped vegan bacon. Dinner is served!
- Cashew Alfredo: Blend soaked cashews, white wine, roasted garlic, vegetable broth, and nutritional yeast until smooth. Pour over cooked cauliflower linguini. Then add a bit of leftover pasta water, as needed, until you achieve the desired consistency. Top with fresh basil and vegan parm.
