World Pasta Day the Plant-Based Way
Too much pasta? Impastable!
Happy World Pasta Day, pastavores! Few things can comfort me more than puppy cuddles, the sun, and a giant bowl of pasta. Thin pasta, thick pasta, long pasta, short pasta, spicy pasta, creamy pasta, light pasta, pasta salad, pasta bake - the pastabilities are endless! Most pastas are made without the use of animal ingredients, but traditional toppings include dairy or meat. Thanks to innovations in the food industry, we can now enjoy meatballs, alfredo sauce, mac & cheese, and bolognese pastas made entirely from plants!
With the help of our extraordinary City Leaders, we’ve gathered a list of the best pasta dishes in all of the US cities where the Kompas app will be available! Let us know if we missed any of your favorites!
