    What’s non-vegan about pasta?

    Semolina flour and water? Is that not the ultimate vegan food?

        I mean, that’s added to the pasta after, the pasta itself is just flour and water, cooked in salt water.

        Whatever you do to it AFTER THAT, well, that’s on you. ;) I personally don’t do cheese. Not vegan or lactose intolerant, I just don’t like cheese.

        There are plenty of pasta sauces that don’t involve meat, dairy or eggs.

          hello.

          its acktually spoiled filtered cow blood and it is delicious.

          I’m allergic though, and thus very appreciative of the vegan community for having alternatives.

        Most dried pasta is vegan, though. Unless specifically buying egg pasta.

          I wouldn’t have ever checked the ingredients on dried pasta if you didn’t tell me this. Thanks.

            You’re welcome! I don’t know why it’s so uncommon knowledge that pasta is just 2 ingredients, but this isn’t the first occurrence I told someone that didn’t know :P

        A lot of pasta sauces have butter in them, personally my favorite pasta sauce is a homemade tomato sauce by Alton Brown (https://altonbrown.com/recipes/pantry-friendly-tomato-sauce/ ), it’s vegan even though I’m not.

        I usually do a double batch once a month (more or less, depends on how quick we use it) and it fills up 3 32 oz mason jars with 4-8 oz extra. It’s amazing on pasta, pizza, eggs, burgers, meatballs, pretty much anything that’s good with tomato. Cheaper and tastier than buying jarred tomato sauce by far, plus you can make it as chunky or smooth as you want by how much you blend it. Only costs a few bucks to make too.

          I make Chef John’s tomato sauce which is not vegan as it has anchovies but could be made so by skipping them. It is delicious.

          While I do like a good pasta with just tomato sauce, I tend to love more complex ones most of which have something else in it that is not vegan unfortunately. Pasta itself would contain eggs (maybe dried pasta uses some vegan friendly substitute?)

      If you cut out all of the pastas that have eggs, cheese, butter, milk, meat, shellfish, or fish (anchovies) then you’re cutting out the vast majority of restaurant pastas and the majority of pasta recipes you’ll find in recipe books unless they’re specifically vegan (restaurants or books).

        I’m talking about the pasta itself, not the finished dishes. What you do to the pasta after it’s cooked is where the non-vegan part comes in.

        The noodles themselves? Wheat flour and water.

        That’s not the fault of the pasta though. ;)
