Most dried pasta is vegan - it is traditionally made from just durum wheat semolina and water. The exceptions are egg pasta, often labelled ‘all’uovo’, some fresh pasta, and stuffed pasta with cheese or meat fillings. Every pasta in the Saporia collection is 100% vegan and egg-free, so you can shop without scrutinising every packet.
Yes, the vast majority of dried pasta is vegan, made from semolina or alternative flours and water. A small number of dried varieties contain egg, so it is always worth checking the ingredients on unfamiliar brands - or simply shop our collection, where everything is guaranteed plant-based.
Fresh pasta is the riskiest category for vegans, as traditional recipes rely on eggs, and filled fresh pasta often contains cheese. Egg-free versions do exist but are rare in supermarkets - which is exactly why we stock options such as Mr Organic’s egg-free tortellini and Sunny & Luna’s ravioli, so you never have to miss out.
Traditional gnocchi is often vegan, made from potato, flour and salt, but many shop-bought versions contain egg or milk. Ours are all guaranteed plant-based: Mr Organic’s classic gnocchi is gluten-free and egg-free, while Sunny & Luna’s cauliflower, pumpkin and spinach gnocchi are made with 50% fresh vegetables.
Plain dried pasta contains no dairy - just flour and water - so it is naturally dairy-free. Watch out for filled pasta, creamy ready-meal pasta dishes and some fresh pasta, which can contain milk or cheese. Everything in our collection is 100% dairy-free.
Brown rice pasta is a favourite for its neutral taste and reliable texture - try Clearspring’s organic brown rice pasta. For higher protein, red lentil and chickpea pastas from Profusion are excellent, while green pea and quinoa pasta works brilliantly in one-pot dishes. For the best results, cook until al dente and rinse briefly after draining.
Yes - lentil pasta is one of the highest-protein pastas available, typically offering around twice the protein of standard wheat pasta per serving, plus plenty of fibre. Red lentil fusilli and orzo are also naturally gluten-free, making them a brilliant choice for active lifestyles and plant-based diets alike.
Use plenty of well-salted boiling water, stir often, and start tasting a minute or two before the packet time - gluten-free pasta can go from al dente to soft very quickly. Drain and briefly pour boiling water over the pasta to remove excess starch, then add your sauce and serve immediately.
Yes - rice in all its forms, including white, brown, basmati, jasmine and risotto rice, is a grain and completely vegan. It is also naturally gluten-free. Our collection includes organic risotto rice and quick-cook risotto mixes for effortless plant-based meals.
Most wheat, rice and soba noodles are vegan, but traditional egg noodles are not - always check the ingredients. Every noodle in our collection is plant-based, so you can build stir-fries, broths and noodle bowls with total confidence.
Bronze-cut, or bronze-die, pasta is extruded through traditional bronze dies, giving it a rough, porous surface that grips sauce beautifully - unlike smooth, mass-produced pasta. Slow drying at low temperatures preserves flavour and texture. Cornwall Pasta Co’s bronze-cut range is a brilliant British example, and once you try it, there is no going back.
Despite its rice-grain shape, orzo is a type of pasta - and our red lentil and chickpea orzo from Profusion are gluten-free, high-protein twists on the classic. Orzo is wonderful in brothy soups, lemony one-pot dishes and pasta salads, and usually cooks in around ten minutes.
Right here. Mr Organic’s organic, egg-free tortellini in porcini or vegetable flavours and Sunny & Luna’s spinach ravioli with plant-based cheese are customer favourites - proper filled pasta with no egg or dairy, delivered UK-wide.
Dried pasta keeps for one to two years, or sometimes longer, when stored in a cool, dry cupboard - legume and gluten-free pastas have similar shelf lives. Once opened, reseal the packet or transfer the pasta into an airtight container. Fresh and filled pasta should be kept chilled and used by the date on the pack.
Plain egg-free pasta is nutritionally very similar to regular dried pasta - the real health upgrades come from wholegrain, brown rice and legume-based varieties, which offer more fibre and protein. Our collection makes it easy to choose an option that fits your goals, from classic organic wheat pasta to high-protein lentil and chickpea varieties.
