    Pasta Recipes

    In this category, you will find all our pasta recipes. Most of these recipes are vegetarian or pescetarian.

    If there is milk involved in any of the recipes, it's always plant-based milk and any butter can be swapped for vegan butter.

    Try this Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta with Capers and Dill! It's my absolute favorite, it's made with Pecorino Romano but you can easily make it vegetarian or vegan.
