Published October 20, 2021 | Updated March 10, 2022 | By Mandy & Jane

There’s nothing more satisfying than settling down to eat a bowl of fresh pasta. We can never get enough of pasta, each time we visit Italy, we discover another new favorite and over the years we’ve built up quite a collection of sensational easy vegetarian pasta recipes to make at home. Check out these tasty recipes!

Serving plate and bowls of homemade pink sauce pasta with tomato sauce, two creamy pasta bowls full and ready to eat.

Easy veggie pasta dishes for the whole family to enjoy

We’ve got pasta recipes to make for when you’re in a hurry like garlic and oil spaghetti and quick mushroom pasta, which is packed full of delicious creamy mushrooms and both pasta dishes can be ready in under 20 minutes and both packed full of flavor.

Love lasagne? We’ve got you covered with our awesome four cheese and mushroom lasagne that’s stacked with brie, mascarpone, dolcelatte, vegetarian Parmesan cheese and topped with crunchy pine nuts.

Overhead shot of delicious four cheese and mushroom lasagne al forno in a baking dish and a slice of the lasagna on a plate with a fork in it, salt and pepper pots, a bowl of parmesan and a glass of water with ice and a slice of lemon in it.

The best vegetarian pasta recipes are made with love

If baked pasta is your soft spot then check out our delicious easy cheesy al forno. It’s a vegetarian pasta dish that’s so tasty, the cheesy, creamy pasta sauce covers the penne pasta perfectly, fresh basil and an awesome crunchy breadcrumb topping make it a real crowd pleaser!

Like vegetable pasta? Check out our mouthwatering pasta alla Norma that showcases roasted eggplant in that’s so flavorsome (disclosure, not all of the roasted eggplant makes it into our pasta dish, some of it may get ‘sampled’).

Homemade penne arrabbiata with chili flakes, tomatoes and grated cheese.

Pasta recipes to batch cook and freeze

With all the best will in the world, we don’t always have the time (or inclination) to cook from scratch – right?

And once you’ve made your favorite pasta recipes, it’s difficult to eat store-bought versions.

So when you do have the time, make the most of it and batch cook and freeze our vegetarian pasta recipes, so you’ll always have them when time is tight.

Our veggie lasagne is the perfect pasta recipe for making ahead and freezing, also try making our marinara sauce which is a delicious tomato sauce, you can freeze it and so all you have to do is to cook the pasta and toss it in the pasta sauce.

Homemade pasta à la norma, with eggplant, pasta, fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese on a fork.

Light and fresh pasta recipes

A pasta dish doesn’t have to be heavy, try our pasta alla Sorrentina with ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh basil or Caprese pasta salad, which is drizzled with a tasty balsamic vinaigrette.

If you’re someone who dislikes washing dishes (does anyone actually like it?) then try our one-pot pasta in pink sauce, as it suggests, it’s all made in one pot and boy, does the pasta sauce taste good!

A bowl of tasty Caprese pasta salad and tomatoes on a vine.

So please take a look and find the pasta recipe that’s right for you and your family.

Make it our way and then play around with the different flavors and make it your own recipe, the way YOU like it.

We’d love to know how you got on making your chosen pasta recipe, so please do leave a comment below and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

FOUR CHEESE AND MUSHROOM LASAGNE AL FORNO

Classic 'angry' sauce! With its firey kick, it's easy to see why arrabiata (angry) sauce is so popular in Italy. This is a quick recipe and you'll have your sauce ready to toss the pasta in, add to sandwiches, or use as a dip in just 15 minutes.

Also try: Marinara sauce

EASY PASTA ALLA NORMA

Pasta alla Norma is good, seriously good! It's creamy, cheesy, and bursting full of flavor. Eggplant (aubergines) have never tasted so good as we roast them perfectly. You have got to give this recipe a try and then make it again, and again and again!
