50 Easy Vegan Pasta Recipes That Anyone Can Get Right

Traditional pasta recipes normally incorporate cheese and other dairy products, but if you’re vegan that’s just not going to work. Instead of giving up this delicious and frequently easy dish, I’m happy to share 50 easy vegan pasta recipes where you can have a plant based meal without sacrificing any flavor.

Dry pasta is naturally vegan, but coming up with delicious sauces and toppings can get tricky, but with a bit of creativity it’s easier than it seems. There are tons of plant based substitutions for meat, cheese and creamy sauces. Most importantly, if you’re vegan you do not have to give up pasta, because there is no shortage of vegan pasta recipes just waiting to be made. Also with so many great gluten free pasta brands on the market you no longer have to give up pasta if you’re gluten free either.
