This quick & easy Homemade Vegan Pasta Recipe (Eggless Pasta Dough) can be made without a noodle machine in a few simple steps (see recipe video or step-by-step photos below). There’s also an option for how to make green Spinach Pasta.
To me, there’s almost nothing better than enjoying a big bowl of fresh Homemade Vegan Pasta, preferably with healthy veggies. I mean, pasta always makes me happy, but actually, homemade pasta makes me even happier. It tastes so much better than store-bought. I can still remember when I was a child and I wanted to buy pasta, my grandma always asked me if I was joking. She never ever used to buy any kind of pasta because she always said that homemade was the best! I don’t know about you, but I find that she was absolutely right! And did you know how easy it is to make noodles at home? It‘s really easy with this Pasta Recipe!
Easy Eggless Pasta Dough
While there is also eggless pasta available in the supermarkets, most fresh Pasta dough recipes are typically made with eggs. In this homemade vegan pasta recipe, however, I use absolutely no eggs. All you need is flour, semolina flour, water, plus a pinch of salt. If you’re a gluten-free eater, you can find a gluten-free option mentioned in the recipe notes. Simply knead the ingredients until it forms a nice soft pasta dough. Then wrap in foil and let it chill for half an hour in the fridge.
How to make Vegan Pasta
Actually, the preparation of this eggless pasta dough is pretty similar to my Ravioli Recipe, however, making tagliatelle or fettuccine is so much easier than filling and folding Dumplings. I’m not saying that there’s no work involved, but most of the effort is just in the kneading of the dough and rolling it out. Once it’s done, all you have to do is roll it up loosely and then cut it into strips to your desired size. Lastly, unfurl the strips – And there you have it, noodles!
How to make Spinach Pasta
Usually, I keep the dough for my Ravioli or Pasta Pockets simple and fairly neutral in taste. Now I also want to show you how to add color and flavor as I did with my Pumpkin Ravioli Recipe. This time I was in the mood for Spinach Pasta, however, you can also add other veggies, such as beet, carrots or sweet potatoes. Actually, it’s prepared exactly the same way, except you just use a little less water and add some puréed spinach instead.
My favorite Pasta Sauces and Pestos
There are so many ways you can serve delicious Homemade Vegan Pasta. You can make a stir-fry with vegetables or serve it with pesto or your favorite sauce. Here are some of my favorite pasta recipes:
- Mushroom & Spinach Pasta
- Avocado Pasta
- Vegan Mac and Cheese
- Vegan Bolognese
- Lentil Bolognese
- Pasta all Arrabbiata
- Alfredo Sauce
- Creamy Mushroom Sauce
- Sweet Potato Pasta Sauce
- Simple Tomato Sauce
- Basil Garlic Pesto
- Pesto Rosso
Get creative with this Eggless Pasta Dough
This Homemade Vegan Pasta Recipe is very versatile because you can make so many different things with it. You can add veggies to the dough, making them colorful, or form the dough into ravioli, pierogi, dumplings or any pasta shape you want. If you’re lucky enough to have a pasta machine, you can even make spaghetti for example. I also like to make penne, farfalle, and tortellini, but I will show you how to make it soon, in another recipe. So stay tuned!
If you’ve tried this recipe, I‘d appreciate a comment about how you enjoyed this pasta. I‘m always excited to read your feedback.
Homemade Pasta Recipe (vegan, easy)
Ingredients
Easy Homemade Pasta
Spinach Pasta (Option)
- 3 oz spinach (80 g) fresh or frozen
Instructions
- *Note: Please watch the recipe video for visual instruction! Also, I highly recommend measuring the ingredients in grams rather than cups!
Homemade Pasta dough
- Mix the flour, semolina and salt in a bowl. Create a well. Pour in water and olive oil, mix together until well combined.
- Transfer to a working surface and knead to a smooth and soft dough, about 8-10 minutes. (Add more flour if the dough is too wet, add more water, if too dry).
- Form to a ball, wrap in cling foil and let chill in the fridge for 1/2 hour.
Cut Pasta (see step-by-step pictures in the text above)
- After the dough has refrigerated, cut into 2 equal portions.
- Place 1 portion on a floured working surface and thinly roll it out using a rolling pin (or pasta machine, if you have one).
- Dust with more flour (to prevent sticking) and loosely roll it up. Use a very sharp knife and cut the roll into strips. Use your fingers to unfurl the noodles and lay them loosely into several bundles to create noodle nests.
- Continue same process with the next dough portion.
- To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
To make Spinach Pasta (optional)
- Cook fresh spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes (or defrost frozen spinach). Then squeeze and blend along with about 1/3 - 1/2 cup of water. Use this spinach mixture instead of only water in step 1 (make the dough) and continue with the recipe!

Notes
- To make the pasta dough gluten-free, you can use a gluten-free flour blend instead of flour and semolina. Also, I recommend adding an additional flax-egg (stir 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds + 3 tbsp water – allow to thicken for 2 minutes).
- When making a pasta bake, such as lasagna, there’s no need to boil the fresh noodles. Just add them directly to your recipe.
- To freeze fresh uncooked pasta, place the noodle nests on a floured baking sheet and freeze for 2 hours. Then, you can transfer to a freezer bag. To cook, put them straight into boiling water, no need to defrost.

I just made this with spelt and semolina, but used only about 1 tablespoon of oil (I try to avoid oil) and it turned out perfect! I barely kneaded for 2 minutes and the dough was super smooth. I didn’t even refrigerate (I was hungry:) and it turned out amazing. Thank you!
So glad your oil-free vegan pasta turned out perfectly! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! ❤️
One tablespoon of oil was actually more than the recipe called for, lol
What a great recipe! Well worth the work of kneading to end up with a silky smooth pasta. Thank you Bianca.
So glad love my vegan pasta recipe! Thank you so much for your feedback! ❤️
What alternatives would you suggest for semolina? Would whole-wheat work or strong flour?
You can sub all-purpose flour or light wheat or spelt flour. Also, whole-wheat should work.
This is such a great recipe! I made pappardelle last night to have with a spaghetti-like sauce and it was incredible. My husband and I are converting to a full vegan diet and he was really disappointed when I told him it was vegan, eggless pasta. After he tried it, he said it was the best pasta he’s ever had and gave it a 10/10! We will be sticking with recipe from now on. I’ve already made another bath with spinach to try! Thanks for sharing Bianca, we always love yours posts.
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! So glad you enjoyed this recipe! 😊
Made some amazing vegan ravioli using your pasta recipe. Thanks!
So glad you love my ravioli recipe! Thank you so much! ❤️
Awesome recipe. I am always in search of healthy recipes and I love pasta a bit too much. I think I reached my destination. Thank you so very much.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
Many questions asked about different flours…. how about 100% buckwheat flour?
I haven’t tried it yet.
I used fine rava which is meant for upma and it turned out perfect
I was trying to reply to PS’ sooji question
Hi, I’m sorry if someone has asked already.
I’ve tried this twice and both times my noodles got clumped into a gooey mess. Tasty, gooey mess. Do you have any pointers for what I may be doing wrong?
It looks great while kneading cutting and drying.
Thanks!
Hi Azure,
We‘re just working on a recipe video, showing you how to make this homemade pasta.
I will upload it asap when it’s edited.
Hope the video can help you! 😊
Best,
Bianca ❤️
Ohh this is exciting. Thanks! I will check back in soon.
The recipe video is uploaded in this blog post now! 😊
Is sooji same as semolina flour ?
I’ve never heard of sooji…
Yes! Semolina flour is finely ground sooji or semolina
Yummy! We love this recipe. Thank you!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! ❤️
Can I use rice flour in this recipe instead of wheat flour
No, sorry!
I found it so hard to find a decent spelt pasta recipe online, but finally I tried yours and loved it! I made both versions and I was so pleased with the spinach pasta in particular. Thank YOU!
Thank you so much, Nicole! So glad you love my recipe! Best, Bianca ❤️
Great recipe! This was my first time making pasta, and it turned out pretty good! I made the Vegan Mushroom pasta sauce with spinach as pictured in this recipe and it went deliciously. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
hello,
i was wondering what’s the exact amount of Spinach to use ?
thank u!
It’s 3 oz spinach as written in the recipe.
can I make this in the morning and use it for dinner? Do I refrigerate or? thank you!
Yes, sure! You can leave the pasta noodle nests at room temperature until ready to serve. Just make sure to cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel but no foil or they’ll get soggy.
Soooo yummy!
This was my first ever homemade pasta and it turned out so well! I love the feel of the dough while kneading, it’s so different than bread dough, I guess because of the semolina.
I made raviolis with half of the batch since it’s just me and my guy. We did roasted acorn squash, garlic, and caramelized onions inside, with a sage brown butter sauce! YUM!!!
I saved what we didn’t use as sheets folded up with plastic wrap in between. Planning on slicing up the remaining half for an arrabiata tonight!
Hi Julia, so glad you liked this recipe! Thank you so much for your amazing feedback! ❤️
Hello! This recipe came out really well, and I had a fun time making it! But I think I made the pieces too thick. How thin would you recommend it to be? And could you recommend other fun shapes to try with the dough?
Hi there, you can make thick or thin noodles, depending to your desired taste. If you prefer them thinner, simply roll them out a little more. You can also make ravioli Or tortellini with the dough. Just have a look around here on my blog, you’ll find many ravioli recipes! ❤️
Hi, I’m from Brazil and I love your recipe, thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙂
I tried making this with gluten free all-purpose flour. I didn’t have flax for the flax egg so I did a chia egg instead. My dough turned out too crumbly (it would crack when rolled out) but was still sticky enough that it would stick to the surface I was rolling it out on even with flour. It wasn’t working for us so we decided to make it into gnocchi shapes which turned out awesome!
Hi Sandra,
So glad you found a solution to make this recipe gluten-free! Thank you for you feedback! 😊❤️
Hii!
I made a bow tie pasta out of this dough!
It tasted sooo good, I wish I can post a picture here!
10/10 for the recipe
So glad you enjoyed this pasta recipe! Thank you 🙂 Feel free to send me your photo on Instagram! 😉
Can I use 00 flour instead?
Yes! 🙂
I’m gonna make this recipe probably today!
By the way, your total time is off above. It says total time of 25 minutes, but you forgot the 30 minutes of chill time in the fridge. Just wanted to let you know.
Blessings! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi Megan, thanks dor letting me know. The preparation time does not include chill time! 😛
Thanks so much for this. I made lasagna sheets and it was very easy to roll out thin without a machine
So glad you love this homemade pasta recipe! Thank you so much for your feedback! 🙂
Would you recommend swapping the plain/all purpose flour with gram flour?
What is gram flour?
chickpea flour
Sorry but this will not work here! :/
Very nice recipe! Easy and very tasty. I still need a little more practice, but the first attempt came out very nice already.
Thanks for sharing!
So glad you like this recipe! I’m sure you’ll get better soon 🙂
This might be a silly question – has anyone tried making this with a pasta maker? I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, unless the dough is too sticky, but that could be fixed with extra flour. Am I right on that? I am excited to try this 🙂
Hi Valerie, you can use a pasta maker! I’ve tried this already and it works perfectly! 😉
This looks great! wondering if I can replace all of the flour with 100% whole wheat flour? would that make the pasta too dense or negatively affect the texture?
Hi Bron, you can use half whole wheat flour and half all-purpose flour 😉
Have made this recipe a few times now and it is easy and absolutely amazing. I’ve froze it each time then vacuum sealed it into individual portions.
So glad you love this homemade pasta recipe! 🙂 I usually freeze leftovers, too so you can enjoy homemade pasta anytime!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! ❤️
You need to correct your gluten free instructions to also replace the semolina flour with a gluten free alternative. Semolina is very high in gluten content.
She doesn’t need to do anything. You are suggesting something.
Thanks for letting me know!
Have you tried it with Cassava flour?
I’m going for it!
No, I haven’t tried it but let me know how it turned out! 😉
Can I use all semolina flour, or is there a reason it’s split half and half?
Hi Jenn, for the best result and texture, I suggest using half and half.
This is such a great pasta recipe. It’s the best! So quick, and, so easy. Much appreciated.
Hi Bex, so glad you liked this homemade vegan pasta recipe so much! Thank you for your amazing feedback! Lots of love, Bianca <3
First time making pasta and I am allergic to eggs; so always on the lookout for no egg recipes. Tried this recipe and it turned out well, obviously much better than store bought. It was satiny smooth with white sauce! Everyone loved it. Thanks so much.
One question though, can I use same dough for ravioli as well?
Yes, sure you can use it for ravioli, too! So glad you love this recipe! Thank you 🙂
I am so excited to have found this! Thanks for sharing. I am going to make this tomorrow with kale instead of spinach, and half bread flour and half whole wheat flour. I will let you know how it goes! One question, if you dry the pasta completely, what would that change for the boiling time? I feel like it would have to take at least a couple minutes longer, but I’m not sure.
Hi Ellie, I’m already so excited about how your version turns out! You can cook them 1 or 2 minutes longer if you like. I suggest trying a noodle during cooking 😉
Thank you so much for this recipe! Does this recipe dry and store well? ♡
Yes, sure! 😊
Can I use red lentil flour completely or do we need to use 2 different kinds of flour? The soinach pasta was amazing and the kids loved helping me make it! Thank you! I can’t wait to explore your website further!
Hi Shannon, I haven’t tried making pasta with red lentil flour yet but feel free to give it a try! I often use just all-purpose flour. So glad you enjoyed the spinach pasta! Lots of love, Bianca <3
How many people does this serve? Planning to try for New Years eve
Hi Stefani, it serves about 2 people as a main course or about 4 as a side dish. Hope you’ll enjoy it!
I’m ready to make themmm. Got everything but was wondering how long you can store them after drying?
Hi Saskia, you can store dried pasta for a very long time. Usually, you’ll need about 2-3 days for pasta to dry thoroughly. Then you can store it for about 6 months or even up to one year. Lots of love, Bianca 🙂
i wonder if you could use a dehydrator to dry the pasta faster?
Hi, I don’t have a dehydrator but let me know if you give it a try 😉
I found you on Instagram and I love this recipe. I want to make it this week and probably freeze it for later. Thanks so much!!!
Hi Analuisa, welcome to my blog! So glad you found me on Instagram! I hope you’ll enjoy this homemade pasta! It’s absolutely perfect for freezing! 🙂 Lots of love, Bianca <3
I’m thinking of giving this a go later this week but I was wondering if I wanted to make less mixture, would that effect the time needed to knead/in the fridge etc?
It’s always the same knead time and chilling time 🙂
Hi!
Thank you for sharing! It will be really great and interesting experience for me!
And it looks tasty!

Delicious!)
Thank you 🙂
I just found your website from Instagram. I have been looking for a site like yours for quite a while. My question is, should I dry out the pasta before I cook or freeze it?
Hi Andy, so glad you found my blog 🙂 I’ve mentioned it in the recipe. Please read my text. You can cook it straight, or dry them for later, or freeze 🙂
Made these pasta and was incredibly impressed! Was so easy to follow and absolutely delish💙
So glad to hear that! Thank you 🙂
I absolutely adored this recipe. Yum!
I found it each step easy to follow and the overall result to be delicious. The spinach and beetroot variations to this recipe are what caught my attention and I attempted those too – with great success. What a great way to make pasta beautiful and tasty. Thank you for this recipe, I will definitely be using this it to make my own homemade pasta in the future.
So happy that you liked it! I have already made it with beetroot instead of spinach too! 🙂 Thank you for your feedback <3
This recipe was so simple and delicious. Homemade pasta can be very intimidating and most vegans shy away from it because they assume egg is a necessary ingredient. A true winner for the plant-based community
So happy that you liked it too 🙂 Homemade pasta is so good, right? Thank you for your feedback <3
Bestes Pasta-Rezept ever! So einfach und so lecker! Auch ohne Pastamaschine einfach top! Vielen Dank! ???
Das freut mich so sehr zu hören! Vielen lieben Dank für dein Feedback! 🙂 <3

This pasta recipe is perfect!!! Thank you so much. My partner and I just made homemade pasta together for the first time and it was such a major success that we are totally addicted.

Homemade pasta is truly the best, right? So glad that you liked this recipe too, and that you made different pasta shapes. Thank you so much 🙂
All the recipes are well explained with clear images. Thank you for sharing.

Absolugelt delicious and so easy to make. I used the dough recipe to make ravioli and lasagna sheets too and worked for both of those too. Thank you!
So glad that you liked this recipe! Thank you for your feedback <3
Lots of love,

Do you think I could skip the oil? Or maybe sub it with something unprocessed? (whpb)
Thanks
Yes, you can simply skip the oil 🙂
Homemade pasta sounds really amazing. I bet it’s so much more delicious than store-bought pasta. ❤️
Yes, absolutely! Homemade pasta is so much better 🙂
Lots of love,
