Ingredients & Substitutions: What Is In The Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Recipe

If you’re looking for a flavorful and healthy meal, this roasted red pepper pasta recipe is just what you need! To make this delicious vegan pasta, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 200 grams of pasta of your choice (red lentil or chickpea noodles are great with this recipe)
  • 4 roasted red peppers
  • 1/2 cup of vegan feta (we recommend using Voilife)
  • 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of agave or other sweetener
  • Chili flakes, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Roasted Red Peppers

To make this recipe in only 15 minutes you’ll need red peppers that have already been roasted. They can be purchased in a jar ahead of time from amazon or in your grocery store. You can also roast your own red peppers in advance to save time. If you are roasting the peppers yourself, be sure to remove the pepper skin. 

Vegan Feta

For this recipe, I used voilife vegan feta cheese. Any vegan feta cheese will work for this recipe. Check out this recipe for homemade high-protein vegan feta. If you don’t have vegan feta, vegan ricotta will do the trick! 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Although olive oil is the most complimentary flavour for this recipe, any neutral-flavored oil can be used. If you have garlic-infused oil, even better! 

The pasta in this recipe is versatile, allowing you to use any type of noodle you prefer. Red lentil or chickpea noodles work particularly well with this recipe, providing additional protein and fiber. The roasted red peppers add a smoky and sweet flavor to the dish, while the vegan feta provides a tangy and salty taste.

To enhance the flavor, we also add extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, agave (or other sweetener), chili flakes, salt, and pepper. These simple ingredients come together to create a delicious and satisfying pasta dish that you will want to make again and again.

So, gather all the ingredients, and let’s get started on making this delicious and healthy roasted red pepper pasta!

Helpful Tools

Here is a section on some helpful tools that can make preparing your Easy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Vegan even easier:

  • Food Processor: A food processor is an essential tool for making the vegan red pepper sauce. It helps to blend all the ingredients together to create a smooth and creamy sauce in no time. Plus, it saves you the hassle of manually chopping the roasted red peppers.
  • Pasta Pot: Having a large pot specifically for cooking pasta is a must-have in any kitchen. It allows you to cook the pasta evenly and avoid clumping together. A good quality pasta pot can also make it easier to drain the pasta, which is essential for this recipe.
  • Vegetable Peeler: A vegetable peeler is an excellent tool to have for peeling the skin off the roasted red peppers. It’s much faster and safer than trying to use a knife.
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are essential for making a delicious and consistent pasta dish. Using measuring cups and spoons ensures that you use the right amount of each ingredient and helps you to get the perfect balance of flavors.
  • Serving Dish: While not strictly necessary, having a nice serving dish can make your Easy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Vegan look even more appealing. Plus, it makes it easier to serve the dish to your family or guests.

How To Make This Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Recipe

Tips & Tricks For This Vegan Red Pepper Pasta

  • It’s gluten-free when served with GF pasta noodles.
  • Use the Right Type of Pasta: While you can use any type of pasta you prefer, it’s best to use red lentil or chickpea noodles with this recipe. These noodles are high in protein and fiber, and they hold the sauce really well, making them an excellent choice for a vegan pasta dish.
  • Adjust the Spiciness: If you prefer your pasta to be spicy, feel free to add more chili flakes. If you don’t like spicy food, just leave them out altogether.
  • Reserve Some Pasta Water: Be sure to reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining the noodles. This starchy water is perfect for thinning out the sauce and creating a creamier consistency.
  • Add Fresh Herbs: Adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley to the top of your pasta will not only add some extra flavor but also give it a pop of color.
