Vegan Pasta Recipes & FAQs

Pasta is part of a healthy diet as long as it’s eaten in moderation.

Bonus? Research shows that eating three servings of whole-grain food daily helps you live longer.

What’s the best pasta?

The pasta brand matters when you choose it. Look at the label and go for durum wheat semolina pasta, possibly made with brass or bronze dies.

Premium-quality pasta is a bit more expensive than basic pasta, but it’s resilient, has a more robust texture, and beautifully holds sauces.
