Reading: unique vegetarian dish pasta
Yes! It’s about time to pull out the cozy sweaters and dive into some pasta. I’m not a fan of being outside in the cold, but I do love the emphasis on comfort that comes with cooler temperatures. Now where are my stretchy pants?
Below, you’ll find twelve hearty and healthy vegetarian pasta recipes that I’m looking forward to eating this fall and winter. I always opt for whole grain pastas, which keep me fueled so much longer (DeLallo brand is my favorite) and load them up with veggies. You can read feedback from C+K readers who made these recipes below.
I tried to pick seasonally appropriate meatless pasta recipes for this roundup. For more pasta dishes, check out my full pasta archives and my veggie pasta board on Pinterest!

“Just wanted to say that this is my partner and my favourite pasta recipe and my probably my partner’s favourite recipe in general. It is so good! We always make it with chickpeas and it fills us up so well. I love how many ingredients there are in the dish so you don’t have to use too much pasta. Everyone I make this for absolutely loves it. Thanks for introducing it to us!” – Brooke
9) Lemony Collard Greens Pasta
“Made a big batch of this tonight for a bunch of fussy eaters, and it was a HUGE success! I used kamut pasta for the gluten intolerant among us, and it worked out beautifully. I scaled the recipe up for 6 people, so I did the collards in a cast-iron wok, which was just the right size and made it easy to stir quickly and keep the greens from clumping. Everyone went back for seconds, and we practically licked the bowl clean. Thank you!” Missy

“This is so easy and flavorful. It makes me want to forget about basil pesto. Love it!” – Todd K.
11) Baked Chiocciole with Brussels Sprouts, Apples and Blue Cheese

12) Super Kale, Hemp and Flaxseed Oil Pesto
“This recipe ROCKED! I used walnuts and olive oil because it’s what I had on-hand and I even used leftovers as part of a bruschetta.” – Stephanie
