pasta
There is a myriad of ways to incorporate pasta into your main courses. While the classic choice is to cook wheat pasta as a side dish to meat and sauce, limiting yourself to that would be missing out on the variety of pasta types and recipes available.
Most popular types of pasta
Certainly, the classic wheat pasta variety takes the lead in popularity, coming in forms like spaghetti, penne, fusilli, and many others. For those striving for a healthier diet, the inclusion of whole grain pasta, with its higher fibre content, is a common choice. Pea, lentil and other types of protein pasta, which include legumes in their ingredient profile, are also becoming more popular. These options often boast a high fibre content and, thanks to the included proteins, serve as excellent post-workout meals. For those aiming to shed a few pounds or looking to increase food volume with minimal calories, the low-calorie ZERO noodles made from konjac provide a suitable option, fitting well into a reduction diet.
What to prepare with pasta?
If you’re a fan of Italian cuisine, our versions of lasagna or vegan Bolognese spaghetti are definitely a must-try. Yet, these are just a glimpse into the array of recipes available for plant-based food enthusiasts. Consider exploring tempeh stroganoff with pasta, lentil pasta with tomato sauce, or Alfredo pasta for diverse flavours. Craving American pasta delights? Then macaroni with cheese (Mac and Cheese) could be your pick. And to embark on an Asian culinary adventure, try your hand at our Pad Thai recipe.
However, if you are on a lookout for some quick recipes, a pasta salad with feta, tuna, or a Greek vegetable salad can be delightful. In the colder months, a comforting choice is bean soup with pasta. Additionally, you might also want to experiment with pasta and chicken or indulge in baked pasta, which is a perfect option for a box lunch.
As demonstrated, pasta is versatile enough to craft main courses, soups, salads, low-carb dishes for a low-carbohydrate diet, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, as well as lactose-free treats.
