This vegan vegetable pasta is light, colourful, and easy to prepare. No need to spend hours in the kitchen. With minimal cooking time, one enjoys a wholesome pasta meal with vegetables. It is one of those pasta recipes you would surely like to bookmark for a potluck, picnic, or a quick weeknight dinner. I am a big fan of quick stir-fry dishes like vegan tofu stir fry, healthy vegetable stir fry, or pasta caprese. EASY. TASTY. HEALTHY.
The Choice of Pasta
Which kind of pasta is perfect for stir-frying? I prefer using bite-size, easy-to-stir pasta for this recipe. My favorite ones are – penne, macaroni, fusili, farfalle, shell or Conchiglie pasta. You can pick any bite-size, hand-made pasta variety for tossing with vegetables. The stir-fry pasta is all about the simplicity of ingredients.
How To Cook Stir Fry Pasta
Cook Pasta: Boil water in a large saucepan with a teaspoon of salt. Once the water starts bubbling and boiling, add the uncooked pasta, stir, and cook until al dente. Transfer the cooked pasta to a colander. Drain the water. Stir Fry Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a stir-fry pan. Add the chopped garlic and chilli flakes. Cook for 10 – 20 seconds to infuse the flavour of garlic and chilli into the oil. Add onion, and stir fry over high heat for 10 – 20 seconds. Next, add the vegetables and salt, and stir-fry them till they are tender but not overcooked or soft. Assemble: Now add the boiled pasta and Italian herbs. Stir to combine. Stir fry for a minute. Turn off the heat.
Stir Fry Pasta Recipe Variation
This pasta with vegetables is a highly customizable dish. Non-Vegetarian: On busy weeknights or for a quick working lunch, I serve it with grilled chicken/shrimps/squids/scallops/tuna/bacon (add either of these meats or seafood to the stir-fry). Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free pasta to make delicious stir-fried pasta without gluten. Kid-Friendly: If you are making this dish for the kids, skipping the red chilli flakes will be great. Otherwise, this pasta recipe is good for the school lunch boxes.
