From long linguine to little shells, pasta is one of those foods with TONS of pasta-billities.Ā And somehow, every pasta seems to have its own personality — like cute bowties, fancy rigatoni, goofy elbows, and familiar penne (so similar, yet so different!).
But no matter what you choose, thereās a sense of magical comfort in a big bowl of hearty, yummy, carb-y pasta.Ā
But wait, is all pasta vegan?
Weāll just cut to the chase here: pasta is often vegan (hooray!). However, the key word is — often.Ā
While it isnāt hard to find plant-based pasta options, the main ingredient to watch out for is eggs. Just like many homemade recipes call for eggs, plenty of store brands incorporate eggs in their pappardelle, spaghetti, lasagna, you name it.Ā
But donāt feel too devastated, pasta lovers. There are lots of brands creating absolutely delicious pasta — thatās also cruelty-free. Just remember to take a peek at the label first!
