You’re welcome! I don’t know why it’s so uncommon knowledge that pasta is just 2 ingredients, but this isn’t the first occurrence I told someone that didn’t know :P
I usually do a double batch once a month (more or less, depends on how quick we use it) and it fills up 3 32 oz mason jars with 4-8 oz extra. It’s amazing on pasta, pizza, eggs, burgers, meatballs, pretty much anything that’s good with tomato. Cheaper and tastier than buying jarred tomato sauce by far, plus you can make it as chunky or smooth as you want by how much you blend it. Only costs a few bucks to make too.
If you cut out all of the pastas that have eggs, cheese, butter, milk, meat, shellfish, or fish (anchovies) then you’re cutting out the vast majority of restaurant pastas and the majority of pasta recipes you’ll find in recipe books unless they’re specifically vegan (restaurants or books).
What’s non-vegan about pasta?
Semolina flour and water? Is that not the ultimate vegan food?
May I introduce you to the concept of cheese?
I mean, that’s added to the pasta after, the pasta itself is just flour and water, cooked in salt water.
Whatever you do to it AFTER THAT, well, that’s on you. ;) I personally don’t do cheese. Not vegan or lactose intolerant, I just don’t like cheese.
There are plenty of pasta sauces that don’t involve meat, dairy or eggs.
Hhmmm… Spoiled cow tiddy juice. How can anyone forget
hello.
its acktually spoiled filtered cow blood and it is delicious.
I’m allergic though, and thus very appreciative of the vegan community for having alternatives.
Flour, water and egg yolks.
Most dried pasta is vegan, though. Unless specifically buying egg pasta.
I wouldn’t have ever checked the ingredients on dried pasta if you didn’t tell me this. Thanks.

I think my blood is 50% noodles by now, I frickin love pasta.
I think OP was referring to what goes ON said pasta
A lot of pasta sauces have butter in them, personally my favorite pasta sauce is a homemade tomato sauce by Alton Brown (https://altonbrown.com/recipes/pantry-friendly-tomato-sauce/ ), it’s vegan even though I’m not.

You forgot cheese?

I’m talking about the pasta itself, not the finished dishes. What you do to the pasta after it’s cooked is where the non-vegan part comes in.
The noodles themselves? Wheat flour and water.
The finished dish is called pasta. The basic component you’re talking about is noodles.
It’s both:

many sauces require some sort of meat, cheese or other animal products (eggs, etc)
That’s not the fault of the pasta though. ;)
