Looking for your next impressive vegetarian recipe? Or perhaps you’re a pasta lover on the hunt for your next go-to meal. With these vegetarian recipes for pasta lovers, you’ll have plenty of meat-free meal ideas to please the whole family, and the best part is they’re easy to make.
Join us as we take you through the best of our vegetarian pasta recipes, from simple pasta dishes to ravioli recipes to dips, gnocchi, and more. These meal ideas will allow you to bring more nutritious vegetables to mealtime, forget about meat for a while, and enjoy the mouthwatering flavours of a vegetarian-friendly meal. Let’s dive in.
Vegetarian Pasta Made Simple
One misconception about vegetarian recipes is that they’re somehow lacking in something important. That couldn’t be further from the truth. There are plenty of meatless meals that have just as much flavour and depth as their meaty counterparts, if not more.
Take for example this Roasted Zucchini Lasagna. Once cooked and it’s got that warm, crispy, and golden texture, you’ll find it’s just as comforting as your typical meaty lasagna, and don’t be surprised if you prefer it this way with the added sweetness of zucchini.
Likewise, let the family indulge in the joys of our Fresh Ricotta & Spinach Ravioli “Puttanesca”. The cheese and spinach combo along with black olives, herbs, and onion make everyone at the table crave a second serving.
Vegetarian Ravioli Recipes
Ravioli gives us an array of tasty vegetarian options, but where better to begin than with a dish that’s rich in the warm and creamy taste and texture of a delicious sauce? This Butternut Squash Ravioli with Brown Butter and Sage could be the next family favourite at your table.
Few dishes evoke the spirit of Italy quite like this one. Roasted Portobello Mushrooms Ravioli with Spinach and Goat Cheese even contains all three colours of the Italian flag. The spinach is green, the cheese is white, and the marinara sauce is a vibrant red.
Vegetarian Recipes with Gnocchi
It’s not only pasta that has a part to play in some of our favourite vegetarian recipes but also our original-style gnocchi that come in their traditional shape and size. Enjoy them in this Skillet Gnocchi Vegan Buddha Bowl alongside a colourful mix of nutritious veggies.
Another nutritious option is a pasta salad recipe, but have you tried one that includes fresh gnocchi? This Gnocchi Pasta Salad is an easy-to-make meal that will satisfy taste buds and appetites alike. Its freshness and flavours make it ideal for spring days and summer nights.
Meat-Free Magic
What do we mean by meat-free magic? We mean vegetarian-friendly meals that are creative and unique. A prime example is this Pepper and Onion Pesto Medley which tastes just as impressive as it looks. Prepare it in a large amount and watch as smiles appear on the faces of those around the table.
Or how about this Asparagus and Red Pepper Linguine? Not many dishes boast as much colour as this one and add that to the fresh veggie-packed flavour that accompanies one of Italy’s most popular types of pasta.
