If you’ve been a subscriber to the blog, you’ll probably already know this little trick we do here. Most of the pasta recipes you’ll find here are vegetarian or vegan and contain more veggies by weight and volume than actual pasta!  And here’s why. Vibrant seasonal veggies contain so many healthy nutrients, way more than than pasta, and yet pasta, bless it’s delicious heart, becomes as the perfect carrier for these beauties. A little pasta can go a long way!

So I’ll often switch the proportions out to make the pasta recipes a little more healthy.  More veggies, less pasta. And guess what? My body loves this combo. In fact, when I limit the dairy, and totally cut out the meat, my body actually seems to digest pasta much easier. Of course we are all different, so don’t take my word for it, try it for yourself and see how you feel. And these days there are so many gluten-free pastas out there to choose from!

Here are my favorite vegetarian and vegan pasta recipes, that are loaded up with healthy seasonal veggies. Pick out a few to try a few this week!
