Pasta arrabiata - Pasta is comfort food and really easy to make. This recipe is so simple, but it tastes like heaven!

Pasta is one of my favorite foods in the whole word. It's comfort food and really easy to make, so I make pasta at least once every week. Alberto and I ate at an Italian restaurant a few weeks ago and there weren't so many vegan alternatives, but we ordered spaghetti all'arrabiata and a pizza with no cheese and lots of veggies, the food was amazing! I haven't eaten this pasta in a really long time and I knew I needed to make it at home and here it is the recipe for you guys, you need to try it, it's so simple, but tastes like heaven.

Looking for more vegan pasta recipes? Dive into my flavorful dishes like Vegan Spaghetti, Vegan Bolognese, and Lemon Pasta. Each recipe offers a unique twist on classic flavors, ensuring a delightful dining experience that's both satisfying and easy to prepare.

Tips:

  • We used buckwheat pasta, but you can use any other type.
  • Feel free to use any other dried or fresh herb instead of the oregano.
  • The dried tomatoes and the tomato paste are optional ingredients.
  • If you use fresh tomatoes and the sauce is too thick, add some water.

    You don't seem to know the basic, Vegan means not just vegetarian but also non animal products.

      Hi! I do because I'm a vegan myself 🙂 That's why I use vegan Parmesan cheese, not regular cheese. Have a nice day!

    I cooked this dish the other day and it was sooo good. The only mistake I made was I put too much sun dried tomatoes (oil free) so it was a tiny bit salty but still so good. I also used green lentil pasta so its GF. Thanks for sharing.

    Are rehydrated dried tomatoes the same thing as sun dried tomatoes?
