Vegan Pasta FAQ
Is pasta vegan?
Yes, most store-bought pasta is vegan. You’ll want to check the label to confirm, but packaged pasta usually only has one ingredient: semolina, a type of flour that’s made from durum wheat and is high in gluten. This flour is mixed with water and, occasionally, added vitamins and minerals.
Can you make vegan pasta?
It’s possible to make homemade pasta without eggs or egg yolks. Just know that if you omit eggs from your recipe, the dough will be lighter in color and have a different mouthfeel than pasta made with eggs.
How do you add protein to vegan pasta?
I like to stir in chickpeas or cannellini beans, meatless meatballs made with lentils or chunks of baked, seasoned tofu. I often start with protein pasta, too—Goodles and Barilla Protein+ pasta have a similar texture to regular pasta. You can also use a plant-based meat product, like Upton’s or Field Roast.
