With these trusted brands, it’s never been easier to enjoy plant-based success.

Barilla Legume Pasta
There’s just something about twisting a fork into a hearty pasta that warms the soul during the cold winter months. And though most dried pasta is made without eggs, a common concern for those wanting to move toward a vegetarian or plant-based diet is a lack of protein. Enter Barilla Legume Pasta. Made of either chickpeas or red lentils, these delicious little morsels include just one ingredient and are a great source of protein and fiber—so you can feel good about diving into a bowl of this classic comfort food.

Get creative with plant-based swaps!
If your recipe calls for egg …
… swap it with a flax or chia seed “egg” to mimic the hold that eggs lend to recipes, or aquafaba (the liquid from cooking chickpeas) for egg whites.
If your recipe calls for meat …
… swap it with tempeh and tofu, which will absorb all those tasty flavors from the dish; or mix up walnuts and mushrooms with your favorite flavorings to replicate ground beef.
If your recipe calls for cheese …
… swap it with nutritional yeast, which has a creamy texture and nutty cheese-like flavor (and subs easily for parmesan); or crumbled tofu for a ricotta-like texture.
If your recipe calls for butter …
… swap it with your preference of coconut, olive, or avocado oil; nut butters; and, in baking, try applesauce, mashed banana, or avocado.
