Tasty pasta recipes to make at home. Quick, easy or just plain delicious, pasta is a sure fire winner. Here are six pasta dishes, plus a few add-ons, that you might not have thought of making. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free, we’ve got you covered.
We have the Italians to thank for our love of pasta. It started to become popular in the UK in the 1960s, but has now taken the nation by storm. We all love our pasta. We tend, however, to stick to the tried and tested. And sometimes it’s good to try something a bit different. To that end, I’ve featured a few tasty pasta recipes you might enjoy that you haven’t tried before.

The linky is now hosted regularly by Sisley fromSew White& Chloe from Feast Glorious Feast. New members are always welcome to join so make sure you invite your other food blogger friends!
Janice atFarmersgirl Kitchen hosted the last linky with this collection of fruit and veg recipes.
Each week the host chooses a selection of recipes to showcase from those submitted during the previous week.
Tasty Pasta Recipes From Tin And Thyme
Pasta is a firm favourite here at Tin and Thyme HQ. It makes for a delicious simple meal that’s generally easy to prepare and popular. You’ll find a few tasty pasta recipes here on the blog. Sometimes though, it’s worth pushing the boat out and making your own pasta dough.
Homemade Vegan Ravioli
Homemade ravioli is a lot easier to make than you might think. There's no special equipment required and it doesn't take heaps of time either. It's so worth it for a special meal. The lentil mushroom filling is a great recipe all on its own and you can use it for all sorts of other recipes as well as a standalone vegan pâté.

Tasty Pasta Recipes From The CookBlogshare Community
Two of the pasta recipes included in this mini round-up are not actually vegetarian, but they are both sausage recipes. This means it’s super simple to substitute either vegetarian or vegan sausages for the ones stated in the recipes.
I’ve also included a recipe which isn’t a pasta recipe as such. In fact, it’s a dip. But I reckon it would make a fantastic pasta sauce, especially served cold as a salad.
Lentil Pasta with Tempeh and Spinach
This lentil pasta with tempeh and spinach recipe is an Italian-style quick high protein meal. Try it for a tasty, healthy entree – plus it’s quick and easy enough to make on a busy weeknight.
Creamy Sausage Pasta
This creamy sausage pasta sauce is flavoured with pork sausage, sunblush tomatoes, leek, garlic and fennel seeds, a winning combination.
Vodka Pasta with Sausage – The Perfect Date Night Dish!
I’m so in love with this Vodka Pasta – its the perfect dreamy dinner. Crowd favourite Pasta alla Vodka kicked up a notch with savoury sausage!
Aubergine dip (eggplant dip) with caramelised onion | Family-Friends-Food
A deliciously savoury and rich, creamy aubergine dip with the sweetness of caramelised onions. Easy to make, it’ll soon be a favourite!
Many a simple pasta recipe calls for breadcrumbs. Whilst gluten-free pasta is quite common now, finding gluten-free breadcrumbs can be a bit more problematic.
