Vegan pasta pairs wonderfully with a variety of sauces and dressings. Pesto, made with fresh basil, garlic, nuts, and nutritional yeast, offers a rich, herby flavour. Tahini, a sesame seed paste, provides a creamy, nutty dressing that's perfect for lighter pasta dishes. Tomato-based sauces, simmered with onions, garlic, and herbs, deliver a classic and hearty option. For a creamier touch, try cashew cream or coconut milk-based sauces that add a velvety texture without dairy. These sauces and dressings elevate vegan pasta dishes, adding depth and deliciousness to every bite.

Adding extra protein to vegan pasta dishes can be achieved in several tasty ways. Incorporate legumes like chickpeas, lentils, or black beans, which not only boost protein content but also add texture and flavour. Tofu and tempeh are excellent choices; they absorb the flavours of the sauces and can be sautéed or grilled before mixing with pasta. Nuts and seeds, such as almonds, sunflower seeds, and hemp hearts, also provide a protein punch and a pleasant crunch. Additionally, using protein-enriched pasta made from lentils or chickpeas can enhance the nutritional profile of your meal.

Making your own pasta sauce is simple and rewarding. Start with a good blender to achieve a smooth consistency. Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley enhance flavour, while spices such as garlic powder, chilli flakes, and black pepper add depth. For a tomato-based sauce, use fresh or canned tomatoes, simmering them with onions and garlic. To create a creamy sauce, blend soaked cashews or use coconut milk. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper as needed. Experiment with different herbs and spices to find your perfect sauce.

To make vegan pasta more filling, focus on adding nutrient-dense ingredients. Incorporate high-protein foods such as beans, lentils, tofu, or tempeh. Adding a variety of vegetables not only boosts the nutritional value but also adds fibre, which helps keep you full longer. Whole grain or legume-based pasta provide more protein and fibre compared to regular pasta. Nuts and seeds, like pine nuts or sunflower seeds, can be sprinkled on top for extra protein and healthy fats. Using hearty, creamy sauces made from nuts or seeds also contributes to a more satisfying meal.

While most pasta is naturally vegan, some types are not. Traditional pasta is typically made from durum wheat semolina and water, which are vegan. However, certain fresh pasta, such as those used in some Italian dishes, might contain eggs. Filled pasta like ravioli or tortellini often have non-vegan fillings, such as cheese or meat. Some speciality pastas might include dairy or eggs for added texture or flavour. Always check the ingredient list to ensure the pasta is free from animal products. Many brands also offer clearly labelled vegan pasta options.
