Pasta Vegetariana

In many parts of Italy freshly grown produce from zucchini (courgettes) to blushing red tomatoes are used to make delicious pasta sauces and fillings. Pasta Vegetariana literally means "vegetarian pasta" and could describe any dish made without meat, here are some of our favourite vegetarian recipes.

Carbonara Recipe

Our Creamy Courgette Carbonara

This fresh take on the classic carbonara is sure to delight both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Instead of using the traditional guanciale or pancetta in this carbonara, we substitute pieces of gently browned courgette. Their fresh and subtly sweet flavour adds depth to this dish and helps to balance out the gloriously creamy carbonara.

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Pici with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Is there any vegetable more evocative of the warm sun of Italy than the red pepper, slowly roasted for hours until charred and fragrant? From the pepperonata (a colourful accompaniment to grilled meat) to caponata, enjoyed when the sun is at its most ferocious, the humble pepper is an integral part of the culinary landscape on the picture-perfect island of Sardinia.

Trofie with Walnut Pesto from the Italian Riviera

We serve our delicious walnut pesto with trofie, a pasta shape hailing from the Gulf of Paradise in the Liguria region, which is close to Genova on the Western coast of Italy. However, despite being so close in proximity, trofie were not commonly found in Genova until the mid-20th century. Trofie get their unique twisted shape by rolling and rubbing on a wooden board.

Radiatori with Fresh Basil Pesto

Radiatori have a much-disputed origin story. Whilst there are some who believe these pasta were first created in Italy in the interwar years, there are those who claim that in fact they were designed in the 1960s and modelled on the radiator grill of the famous Bugatti motor car. But, whatever the context of their conception, radiatori are undeniably industrial in their appearance, with deep grooves and a straight, central ‘pipe’ they certainly resemble traditional heating fixtures.

Orecchiette with Sicily's Pistachio Pesto

Bronte pistachios are also known as ‘’green gold’’ in their native Sicily, from where this sauce originates. The delicate nut is renowned throughout the gastronomic world for its rich, nutty flavour and green hue. Indeed, we hope you’ll agree this innovative pesto - inspired by Sicily, but given a modern plant-based twist by leaving out the traditional formaggio - has the most beautiful colour.

Rigatoni with a Datterini Tomato & Mascarpone Sauce

Ah... pomodoro e basilico. These two ingredients – two of Italy's finest – come together to create something sublime. If you have ever enjoyed a fresh caprese salad (whether in the Capri sun or not), you will have noticed that the combination of tomato and fresh basil – known appropriately as the 'king of herbs’ – is a beautiful one, despite its near-rustic simplicity.
