Vegan Pasta Ingredients

The magic behind any vegan pasta dish is in the ingredients. There are a handful of the most important ingredients in my kitchen, must have kitchen essentials and favorite brands for pasta. Below I break down the Jackfruitful favorites to make shopping easier for you!

  • Cashews: Cashews are essential for so many reasons, cashew sauce? Vegan alfredo sauce, a rose sauce? Cashews can do it all. Soaking your cashews and blending ensures that you can have an amazing creamy base without any dairy! They are the ideal ingredient when considering a creamy vegan pasta sauce.
  • Nutritional Yeast: Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor, making it a perfect vegan parmesan substitute or for increasing the flavor profile of a creamy vegan sauce.
  • Gluten-Free Pasta: Ensures that everyone can enjoy these recipes, regardless of gluten sensitivities. I listed my top three plant based, gluten free pastas below so make sure you check them out; they are perfect for these vegan recipes!
  • Red Pepper Flakes: A must in my kitchen, I love everything with a little kick; however that isn’t all red pepper flakes are good for as they are loaded with flavor! A little sprinkle of red pepper flakes goes a long way when creating a creamy roasted sauce, a spicy gochujang sauce or when looking to add a little kick to a creamy alfredo!
  • Olive Oil: Olive oil is great for sauteing your vegetables and creating depth in your sauces. It’s one of those ingredients that is just always great to have on hand!
  • Vegetables: Who doesn’t love vegetables? From red bell peppers, broccoli, diced tomatoes, mushrooms and more! Adding vegetables to any pasta dish is sure to increase your nutritional intake and enjoyability! 

What Vegan Parmesan Cheese is Best?

When it comes to vegan parmesan, I recommend looking for brands like Panacheeza that use nutritional yeast and nuts to mimic the savory, umami-rich flavor of traditional parmesan. If shreds are more your thing, brands like Violife and Follow Your Heart offer excellent options that melt beautifully into our pasta recipes. If going out and purchasing a dairy free parmesan cheese is not an option or there is not much around you; I highly suggest sprinkling nutritional yeast with a bit of garlic seasoning! If you mix the two in a ratio that you like I assure you it will have you singing with delight just the same!

Jackfruitful Favorite Gluten Free Pastas

Want to make a delicious vegan pasta? Sourcing the right gluten free pasta can be a pain in the butt if you don’t know where to start, and you’re not alone; when I started eating gluten free I often felt overwhelmed by the options not knowing what one was actually going to taste good, hold up with heavy sauces and not taste like cardboard. I have tried countless brands and the ones I always come back to are the following:

  • ZenB: It’s made from yellow peas and has a fantastic texture! The yellow peas also add a nice serving of protein. Click here to shop ZenB
  • Jovial: Almost indistinguishable. This award-winning brown rice pasta is my go-to for fooling my gluten-loving husband. Click here to shop Jovial
  • Palmini: My favorite low-cal, low-carb option made from heart of palm! I love the lasagna noodles and the rice, linguine and angel hair are delicious in pasta salads! Click here to shop Palmini

My 5 Secret Pasta Success Tips

  1. Bigger the Better: Use a big enough pot with plenty of water! Pasta can expand up to 3x its size when cooking, and using a large pot with 4 quarts water for every 1 lb of pasta will prevent it from sticking together or becoming starchy during cooking
  2. Channel Your Inner Salt Bae: Generously salt that pasta water – and I mean generously! You want about 1 tbsp salt per pound of pasta. Don’t worry, it won’t all be absorbed, but it adds extra savory depth to the noodles and results in a more flavorful end result. And no matter what you do, don’t you dare add oil to that pasta water!
  3. Stir It, Stir It Real Good: Your noodles will release the majority of their starch within the first few minutes of cooking, so the second they hit the water, stir frequently for the first few minutes, then you can chill out and let them do their thing.
  4. Don’t Set it and Forget It: Many factors can impact the cooking time of your pasta, so use the recommended cooking time only as a guide, and check often during the last couple of minutes. For the best texture, cook your pasta until *just* before it reaches al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly once drained.
  5. Save That Pasta Water! It’s liquid gold! When draining your noods, save 1 cup of pasta cooking water to add to the sauce as needed. This magical starchy liquid acts as glue or binder to help thicken and emulsify any sauce you choose, without having to add oil.

How to Make Vegan Pasta

Creating these dishes is as easy as boiling water. Start with cooking your gluten-free pasta to al dente perfection, then mix with your choice of vegan sauce — from the nutty, creamy cashew-based sauces to the tangy and spicy tomato-based delights. Each recipe is designed to come together in 30 minutes or less, making them perfect for a quick yet nutritious meal. Click on any of the dishes mentioned above and you will be brought to a blog all about that recipe. You can learn all the specific cooking methods to make that pasta dish.

What to Serve with Veggie Pasta

Complement your pasta with a side of baked tofu, gluten free bread, a fresh green salad, a side of steamed veggies, or my personal favorite way… on a bed of massaged kale! You heard that right. Pasta is DELICIOUS when combined with the crisp, vibrant, freshness of lemony massaged kale. It instantly lightens up your plate, cuts the calories and carbs in half, and fills you up faster. It’s a great way to enjoy pasta while focusing on your health goals. I also love pasta all by itself now and then because it is the ultimate comfort food! Stretch your leftovers even longer by pairing them with one of the items mentioned above! 

Is Vegan Pasta Healthy?

Absolutely! All of these recipes focus on whole-food ingredients, packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats. They’re designed to nourish your body and keep you satisfied longer. That is the Jackfruitful way. I am always aiming to turn classic dishes (even if they aren’t healthy) into something that fuels your body, stimulates your senses and can come together quickly! I am not a huge fan of being in the kitchen for hours upon hours for one dish! All of my pasta recipes are meant to be approachable, easy, delicious and turn into favorites that you can rely on time and time again!

If you’re still in the pasta mood and thinking about what pasta salads you’ll make for spring, let me entice you with some of the best vegan pasta salad recipes:
