Even the most dedicated carnivore will fall for these meat-free pasta recipes. Eggplant, for example, is a reliable vegetarian pasta ingredient – try it roasted in our tomato and basil recipe, or in chef Mitch Orr’s fusilli alla Norma. There’s pronto vegetarian pasta, you’ll knock over the spaghetti with capers and lemon in ten minutes flat, or whip up the chilli and rocket linguine in no time at all. If you’re seeking comfort food, you could do worse than the cauliflower mac and cheese.
