It’s not the first time (or the last) when we accomplish two goals in one shot. That is because although this pasta dish is purely vegan it can also be served as a side to any meat-eater out there. Anyway, vegan or not, you have to try this sauce.
Not all spaghetti dishes truly belong to Italian cuisine. However, this spaghetti was indeed inspired to us by the “cucina italiana”. We could have used pecorino, but instead, we’ve settled for parmesan. Either way, this is not a vegetarian dish. Unless you use rennet-free cheese.
We’re not sure if, while cooking this delicious dish, we upgraded the pasta or the cauliflower. Anyway, it dawned on us that together they work wonders, especially when flavoring the oven-baking cauliflower with lemon juice, garlic, chili pepper, and olive oil.
It’s hard to say if pasta upgrades the broccoli here, or the other way around. Bear in mind that if you use rennet-free parmesan you’ll have a vegetarian dish on your plate. Skip the parmesan altogether, use egg-free pasta and you’ll end up with vegan pasta. Your choice.
Yes, we know, a lot of ingredients needed for this recipe. This is typical for some cuisines out there, but this is a small price to pay for enjoying the plethora of aromas in these dishes. Take these stir-fried Thai noodles with beef, for example. You’ll come to appreciate the ginger, coriander, garlic, soy sauce, jalapeno, and so on, all coming together in one flavorful dish.
Cooking pasta is not just about making them ‘al dente’ or not. It’s also about how you pair them or upgrade them. In this case, we prepared a delicious red pesto from baked beetroot mixed with heavy cream and flavored with dill and lemon juice. It ended up so yummy! Serve them with some cheese (crumbled or grated, that’s your call).
Whenever in the mood for pasta without much of a hassle you can try this no-brainer. First, boil the pasta according to the package directions, then cook them in the pan with the veggies. This will wonderfully flavor them and the whole fuss will take about 20 minutes.
You cannot go wrong with the macaroni pasta. It’s a classic. Only this time we urge you to add peas, herb cream cheese, and some milk in order to upgrade the whole thing. Oh, and don’t forget the parmesan.
For this one, see to it and have ready at your side some mashed butternut squash and cooked pasta. You’ll prepare a creamy and buttery vegetarian main dish with just the right amount of acidity added to it by means of tomatoes.
We feel an urge for meat and pasta from time to time, don’t you? If you’re like us, you’ll take 1 hour or so of your time and prepare a tray of meatballs, say, pork and carrot. You’ll serve them over pasta flavored with pesto sauce. Toss almond flakes to make things even more interesting.
In case you’re fed up with the bland yellowish-white color of your pasta, you can simply color them. You can choose to make your colors more intense. However, we went for saturated colors. Also, unlike us, you may choose to serve the different-colored pasta mixed.
Did you know that alphabet pasta has a history of over 100 years old? It’s been more than a century since people (especially kids) started eating those funny bits of pasta. We’re doing it, too with this vegetarian soup.
