This Vegan Pasta Dish with a Greek spin is delicious, easy, and all you really need is one pot to whip it together. No mess!

Who likes to do the dishes? Not me! So that’s why one-pot recipes are some of my favourite recipes. Especially on those busy weeknights when you have a million things you could be doing other than cleaning your kitchen after making a nice home-cooked meal. This Vegan Pasta Dish is incredibly easy, won’t dirty all your dishes, and has a Greek twist that I think you’re going to love.

🍲 Ingredients

Artichoke Hearts – I love tossing artichoke hearts into salads or recipes like this Vegan Pasta Dish. Artichokes are loaded with nutrients and can help improve your cholesterol, blood pressure, digestive health, and the list goes on. They add a tangy, meaty texture that makes this pasta dish incredibly satisfying while providing antioxidants and fiber.

Nutritional Yeast – What’s great about nutritional yeast is that it gives off this great cheesy flavor without needing the cheese. It is loaded with vitamin B12 too, so it’s healthy. I love sprinkling nutritional yeast on just about everything. It’s great for snacks like popcorn, and you can also add it to salads, juice, cereal, and more. In this pasta, it creates that umami depth that makes you forget you’re eating vegan.

👩‍🍳 How to Make This Vegan Pasta Dish

  1. Into a wide, deep pot add all your ingredients.
  2. Bring your pot to a boil and cook for around 25 – 30 minutes (or until cooked to your desired consistency)* on medium heat with the lid on.
  3. As your pasta cooks keep an eye on it, and gradually add your extra water to ensure proper cooking and to avoid burning.
  4. Enjoy with fresh herbs!
  5. That’s it – you can thank me later!

🪄 Tips and Tricks

  • Water: Keep extra water nearby and add gradually as needed to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  • Stirring: Give it an occasional stir to prevent pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Meal Prep: Make this Vegan Pasta Dish in advance and have it on hand for a quick meal for the week. This pasta dish is even delicious cold!

🗒 Variations

Make this Vegan Pasta Dish your own. Here are some ideas to switch it up a bit:

  • Vegetables: You can swap in or out any of the veggies in this recipe for your favorites. Sundried tomatoes can be a good substitute for artichokes or olives.
  • Protein: Adding things like beans, chickpeas, or plant-based protein can provide extra substance.
  • Pasta Shapes: Any pasta shape works, though shorter shapes like penne or rigatoni hold the flavors best.
  • Herbs: Fresh basil, oregano, or parsley all complement the Greek flavors beautifully.

👝 How to Store Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat or eat cold. The flavors develop and improve after sitting, making leftovers just as delicious as the fresh version!

🤔 Common Questions

Is packaged pasta vegan?

Most packaged pasta is vegan. Fresh pasta can contain eggs so triple-check the ingredient list.

What aisle in the grocery store do I find artichoke hearts?

You can find marinated artichoke hearts in the aisle with pickles or sundried tomatoes. You can find canned ones either in the same place or with canned veggies.

Can I make this dish gluten-free?

Yes! Substitute with your favorite gluten-free pasta. The cooking method remains the same, though you may need to adjust the liquid slightly.

How do I prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom?

Keep the heat at medium, stir occasionally, and add water gradually as needed. The steam from keeping the lid on also helps prevent sticking.

Can I freeze leftover vegan pasta?

Yes, though the texture may change slightly. Freeze in portion-sized containers for up to 3 months. Add a splash of water when reheating to restore moisture.

Maile Penhall

Super delicious and very easy to make! I was skeptical at first and my spaghetti noodles gave me some trouble at first, because my pot wasn’t big enough, but everything worked out! I plan on making this very frequently. I subbed vegan cream cheese for feta & it had the perfect amount of creamy-ness.
