Vegetarian pasta recipes are so fun and versatile because there’s so many options. There are so many different types of noodles and vegetables to choose from! For example this recipe for vegetarian casserole has rigatoni style noodles. Additionally I used squash, portobello mushrooms, and tomatoes. It made a delicious pasta combination with marinara and breadcrumbs.

Vegetarian pasta recipes are so easy to make because of your noodle options. Like I said before I used rigatoni but you can use any kind of noodle. Other fun shapes include spaghetti, Cavatappi, or corkscrew, tagliatelle, or penne. Other shapes include maccheroni (or macaroni), farfalle (or bow ties), conchiglie (or shells), fusilli ( or rotini), Anelli (or spaghetti Os), or you could make a lasagne! 

This recipe for vegetarian casserole has three different vegetables: squash, tomatoes, and portobello mushrooms. However you can use any kind of fresh vegetable! You can try broccoli, cauliflower, corn, eggplant, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and more. That’s the fun thing about making plant based vegan casseroles and baked dinners, the versatility!  Plant based casseroles are so much fun to make.
