These Meatless Pasta recipes will make going meatless or plant-based even easier than ever!
Everything from Instant Pot recipes, to slow cooker recipes to stove top. You'll want to try them all!
Are you trying to go meatless more often? It started as Meatless Monday at our house and now we try to go plant based 2 or 3 times a week.
These easy pasta recipes are on regular rotation. We never get tired of them!
Some are vegetarian, some are vegan, we don't follow any strict diet rules, we just make sure they are meat free.
You need to bookmark this next recipe for when zucchini season hits! We had it almost every week last summer!
Zucchini, Raisins and Walnuts can be on the table in under 30 minutes! The raisins and walnuts keep it very kid friendly!
One of the most popular posts on the blog, with good reason, these Thai Peanut Noodles can be used as a main dish or they make a great side dish to accompany another Thai recipe.
A little sweet, a little spicy and a whole lot of deliciousness!
The only tomatoes we grow in the summer are cherry tomatoes and we use them in everything!
This Orzo with Tomatoes, Basil and Ricotta is on regular rotation all summer long and since cherry tomatoes are good all year long in the grocery store, I make this in mid winter when I want it to feel like summer again.
This one pan veggie pasta recipe needs to be on your menu!
If there is one easy veggie pasta recipe that we turn to all year long, it's this Roasted Vegetable Pasta.
In the summer we make it with zucchini and tomatoes and in the fall and winter, we use butternut squash or acorn squash.
The secret to this Pasta with Broccoli and Capers? The pasta and the broccoli!
You want to chop the broccoli into smaller pieces and use a shell pasta. The broccoli nestles into the shells and it's so good!
Capers and red pepper flakes give it a little extra zing!
Did you know you can cook pasta in your Instant Pot? You can and it's so easy and comes out perfectly cooked!
This Instant Pot Pasta all Vodka is fancy enough for a special occasion, but so easy it'll turn every weeknight into a special occasion!
Easy weeknight pasta dinners become even easier when you have some of this Slow Cooker Marinara Sauce in your freezer!
The recipe makes enough to sauce 4 pounds of pasta, so I always have a few bags of this in the freezer.
It's also great for any of those recipes that call for jarred marinara sauce, believe me, this homemade marinara sauce is so much better!
Two things I have plenty of in the summer - zucchini and mint! So, the best way to deal with surplus is to combine them in this Pasta with Zucchini and Mint Pesto!
Yes, you can make a pesto out of mint and it is so good!
I used yellow summer squash, also plentiful!
Similar to the last recipe, this Vegetable Pasta Salad with Basil Pesto features pasta, veggies and pesto. This time it's basil pesto!
You could also use an arugula pesto, parsley pesto or cilantro pesto!
There you go! A collection of our favorite pasta recipes for vegetarians, vegans or people just trying to eat a little less meat!
