What pasta sauces can I make that don't include cheese? [closed] - Selective Focus Photography of Pasta With Tomato and Basil

I've been making a fairly standard arrabbiata sauce for months, and I'd like to expand the number of sauces I can make.

However, many of these recipes involve cheese and/or milk, but I'm sadly lactose intolerant and would prefer to avoid these ingredients.

What others sauces could I be making, and what pasta should I use with them?



Best Answer

  • Tomato Sauce
  • Putanesca
  • Pesto (omit parmesan)
  • Bolognese (meat sauce)
  • Squash Puree (maybe with sage)
  • Olive oil infusions (fresh herb/garlic/chilis/lemon zest)
  • Roasted Red Pepper puree sauce
  • etc

  • Is cheese necessary for pasta?

    There are very few pasta sauces recipe that actually uses cheese or milk products in their recipes. The ones that use cheese are easy to spot (caccio e pepe, carbonara...) so don't do them. You could use lactose free cheese or milk or cream. Remember that real Parmesan contain very little to no lactose.

    Should you add cheese to pasta sauce?

    Cheese and dairy give sauces creaminess while butter and oil give them richness. You also don't need to use a lot \u2014 these are just for finishing and rounding out the flavors in a sauce.

    To add to other suggestions, have a look at any sauces that use seafood and shellfish, they mostly are based on oil and tomatoes anyway.
