    Vegan pasta dough ingredients

    I love this recipe because it goes to show you can easily make pasta vegan. No eggs needed!

    Homemade vegan pasta noodle ingredients laid out in separate bowls
    • All purpose flour
    • Semolina flour - This flour is used in homemade pasta recipes quite a bit, to add extra chewiness to the pasta, since it's higher in gluten. If you don't have semolina flour, don't worry, I tell you how to replace it below.
    • Oil - Olive oil does the trick. This helps to replace the fat content, moisture and silkiness that eggs would give in this recipe.
    • Salt - This makes sure that the pasta doesn't come out bland. Salt is important for flavor!
    • Ground turmeric powder- optional, this is to add a little bit of color, since there are no eggs in this recipe.

    How to make vegan pasta dough at home

    Vegan pasta dough in a mixing bowl

    Step one: In a large mixing bowl add the dry ingredients and stir well. Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour the water and olive oil into the well.

    Step two: Mix well. Then form into a ball. Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and cover with saran wrap. Set in the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes.

    Step three: Cut the dough in half. Using a rolling pin, thinly roll out one of the dough balls on a lightly floured surface.

    Step four: Lightly dust the surface of the dough once it's rolled out, to prevent it from sticking when we roll it up. Loosely roll it up

    Step five: Cut into strips. Then do the same thing for the other portion of the dough.

    Step six: Unfurl the pasta and then lay them in little pasta bundles that look like nests. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Serve with your favorite sauce.

    Recipe tips & substitutions

    If you don't have semolina flour, just replace it with the same amount of all purpose flour. No big deal!

    You don't need a pasta maker! No fancy kitchen equipment needed! Just use a rolling pin.

    If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine or beer bottle, or something with a similar shape.

    Storing tips

    Fridge: This keeps in the fridge for about 5 days cooked. You can also keep the uncooked dough in the fridge for about a week.

    Freezer: You can freeze the uncooked pasta noodles. Just place the unfurled pasta bundles on a baking sheet and freeze for two hours. After frozen, transfer them to a freezer friendly bag.

    Serving suggestions

    Serve this homemade vegan pasta with your favorite sauce. This Tofu Bolognese Pasta Sauce, Dairy Free Vegan Pesto, High Protein Lentil Pasta Sauce will go amazingly well over this homemade pasta.

    Recipe FAQs

    What can I use instead of eggs in pasta dough?

    All you need to make vegan pasta dough is all purpose flour, oil, water, salt and semolina flour. The semolina flour has a higher gluten content, which is what makes pasta chewy and bind well. The oil and water keep the pasta moist without the need for eggs.

    What is the best flour for homemade pasta?

    Semolina flour is the best flour to use, because of its higher gluten content, which gives pasta a higher protein content, better structure and a nice chewiness.

    Equipment

    • Rolling Pin

    Ingredients

    US Customary or Metric
    • 1½ cups all purpose flour
    • 1 cup semolina flour (or substitute for more all purpose flour)
    • ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder (optional - just to add color)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup water
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    Instructions

    Make the dough

    • In a large mixing bowl add the flours, salt, turmeric powder and stir well.
      1½ cups all purpose flour, 1 cup semolina flour, ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon salt
    • Make a well in the middle of the flour and pour the water and olive oil into the well.
      1 cup water, 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • Mix well. Then form into a ball with your hands. Flour a clean surface and knead the dough for 9 minutes to activate the gluten and make the pasta more chewy.

    Let it rest

    • Form the dough into a ball and cover with saran wrap, or place in a tupperware bowl with a lid. Set in the fridge and let it sit for 30 minutes, to let the gluten activate even more. No more than 17 hours.

    Form the pasta

    • Cut the dough in half. Using a rolling pin, thinly roll out one of the dough balls on a lightly floured surface.
    • Lightly dust the surface of the dough once it's rolled out, to prevent it from sticking when we roll it up. Loosely roll it up
    • Cut into strips. Then do the same thing for the other portion of the dough.
    • Unfurl the pasta and then lay them in little pasta bundles that look like nests

    Boil pasta

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil for 3 minutes. Serve with your favorite sauce.

    Notes

    If you don't have semolina flour

    just replace it with the same amount of all purpose flour. No big deal!

    If you don't have a rolling pin

    You can use a wine or beer bottle, or something with a similar shape.

    Gluten free option

    You can make this gluten free by using gluten free all purpose flour. You also need to add a flax egg, since there is no gluten in this to make it chewy and stick together.
    To make the flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax seeds to 3 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then add it to the pasta mixture, when adding your other liquids. Be very gentle with it, as gluten free pasta tends to be more fragile and fall apart easier.
