There are few dinner scenarios when pasta isn't the answer. It's quick, easy, and often requires minimal attention which is obviously a huge win. If you're anything like me, a late night pasta dish is normally dependant on a mountain of cheese and a sprinkle of pepper (to make up for the lack of other ingredients to hand), but if you're vegan, you're likely going to have to look elsewhere to feed that rich and creamy craving.

Don't be fooled, though. The vegan pasta possibilities are pretty extensive and if you're teetering on the edge of a plant-based diet, the ones we found will make the idea of giving up meat, cheese and dairy (the holy trinity of pasta accompaniments) a whole lot easier.

We found a faux-bolognese with a kick, lasagne that'll sort you and your mates out next time they turn up at yours unannounced, and even a fancy looking ravioli thing if you're into making things from scratch. Hungry yet? Thought so. Here's the best that Pinterest has to offer.

Vegan Ravioli with Pumpkin and Ricotta

So this one requires a lot of hands on fiddly time but I reckon it'd be worth it (but also you could just buy the pasta to fill yourself..). If you're not a fan of pretend 'ricotta' cheese you can always leave that out completely and just go for some hearty pumpkin filled pasta sheets. 30min - 90mins depending on whether you cheat the pasta making
