Vegetarian Pasta Recipes

If it weren't for pasta, I probably wouldn't survive as a vegetarian. Not only is pasta versatile, it's also healthy and delicious. Check out this index of vegetarian pasta dishes, lasagnas, and sauces.

Fresh Pasta
Making fresh pasta takes less than an hour and you can't beat it for taste and texture. Kids will love the different color possibilities.
  

Pasta Dishes and Lasagnas

Fettucine Alfredo
Alfredo is a rich and creamy Italian sauce, usually served over fettucine.

Greek Lasagna
A light, vegan lasagna made with artichokes, eggplant, and lemons.

Italian-Style Macaroni and Cheese
Try this macaroni and cheese made with great Italian cheeses.

Kosherie
Kosherie is an Egyptian dish of spicy lentils, rice, pasta, and fried onions.

Lasagne
Vegetarian lasagne is easy and delicious. Here's a variation on the classic red sauce version, with some extra vegetables.

Lasagne Florentine
Spinach lasagna, sometimes called lasagne Florentine, is a classic vegetarian dish made with a creamy white sauce, cheese, and vegetables.

Macaroni and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is one of those dishes that sound boring, but can be just as delicious as a "fancier" pasta dish like lasagne or pesto.

Mock Beef Stroganoff
I just love this pasta dish: a creamy sauce with mushrooms and chunks of mock meat.

Mushroom Lasagne
Three kinds of mushrooms combine with cheese, garlic, and pasta into a lovely main course.

Noodle Kugel
Kugel is a traditional Jewish side dish that is usually slightly sweet but is served as a side dish, rather than a dessert.

Noodles and Cheese
I don't know where this recipe comes from or if there's a nicer name for it; all I know is that my mother used to make it when I was a kid and it only has 5 ingredients. The buttery, almost smoky onion flavor and the melty cottage cheese are absolutely delicious!

Pad Thai
Got a craving for Thai food? Try making your own vegetarian Pad Thai.

Pasta Salad
A simple pasta salad with lots of flavor.

Pasta with Squash Sauce
Squash and pasta make a nice autumn meal.

Stuffed Shells
Pasta shells stuffed with cheese, topped with tomato sauce, and baked until bubbly.

Vegan Lasagna
It's easy to make vegan lasagna. All you need are noodles, good tomato sauce, and a tasty tofu mixture in place of the traditional ricotta cheese.
  

Pasta Sauces

Basil Pesto
This classic Italian sauce is rich and intense.

Italian Tomato Sauce
This is my own Italian tomato sauce recipe which I have been making for years. It works equally well with pasta, lasagna, eggplant parmesan, and pizza recipes.

Kiss the Cook Tomato Sauce
This easy tomato sauce is great over vegetables, pasta, or pizza.

Primavera Sauce
Pasta Primavera is the perfect springtime dish, filled with fresh vegetables.

Ratatouille
The perfect recipe to enjoy fresh summer vegetables and herbs; it can be served half a dozen different ways.

Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto
A variation on a classic Italian sauce: basil pesto mixed with the interesting flavor of sun-dried tomatoes.

Tomato Garlic Sauce
A rich, garlic-heavy sauce that goes especially well with pasta, eggplant, and goat cheese.
  

Pasta Soups and Salads

Macaroni Salad
A simple but tasty dish. Macaroni salad is great for picnics and buffets, or as a side dish.

Minestrone Soup
This classic Italian soup is always vegan, as long as you leave off the parmesan cheese.

Tortellini Salad
A very simple yet surprisingly tasty salad, perfect as a first course or on a picnic.

Tortellini Soup
This garlicky soup is easy, quick, and delicious.
