The One Community food infrastructure is designed to meet the needs of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. To meet these diverse nutritional needs and desires, food items were chosen that are a common ground between these three main groups. The items include fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables. The recipes will always feature at least one of these staple items to fulfill the caloric needs of that meal. On this page, pasta will be the staple food for the recipes listed.
This page is specifically all about vegan pasta recipes. If you are looking for omnivore pasta recipes, then you can check out the omnivore pasta recipes page.
To provide menus and meals that can be of benefit to any group
To demonstrate and share the healthiest and most delicious choices we’ve come up with so far
To make the food production aspect of DIY sustainable building easier and more affordable for others
This pasta-based menu is part of our plan to make it easier for others to implement a healthy, sustainable, and delicious food program into their projects. We’ve chosen to specifically open source pasta menus and recipes because they’re affordable, high in calories and healthy carbohydrates, filling, easily digestible, easy to cook, and easy to integrate into a wide variety of dishes from around the world. Pastas have been a staple food for many of the worlds largest cultures for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Examples of vegan dishes that contain pasta are spaghetti, fettuccine alfredo, Vietnamese pho, Pad Thai, chow mein, vegan mac n’ cheeze, soups & stews, noodle bakes, cold salads, etc. Pastas are a very versatile food and can be used in a variety of ways.
WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE TO EVOLVING THIS SUSTAINABILITY COMPONENT WITH US
VIDEOS COMING AS WE IMPLEMENT THIS AS PART OF OUR CROWDFUNDING CAMPAIGN. THEY WILL INCLUDE: PREPARING EACH RECIPE, SHOPPING TIPS, TEMPORARY KITCHEN SETUP, AND MORE
To address the dietary desires of omnivores, each of these vegan recipes have been chosen and designed as recipes that can easily be made with the addition of animal fats/proteins.
NOTE: In these meal plans, exact measurements may not be followed and are offered as suggestions. Particulars will be decided by the chef and the community size. Duplication of meals will also be important to offer economies of scale when buying weekly meals as well as making food production easier.

Curried Tempeh Quinoa Breakfast Hash – V
Time: 30 minutes All recipes scaled to 4 portions (2 vegan portions and 2 omnivore portions) Recipe source
Ingredients
1 cup (8 oz, 227 g) pinto beans (V&O)
4 oz tempeh (113.5 g) (cut into 1-cm cubes)
½ cup (4 oz, 113.5 g) cooked quinoa (V&O)
½ red onion (4 oz, 113.5 g) (finely diced)
½ large sweet potato (4 oz, 113.5 g) (cut in ¼-inch cubes)
2 cloves garlic (0.35 oz, 10 g) (smashed and minced)
Place the beans in a large bowl. Discard any stones or debris.
Cover with 2 to 3 inches of water and discard any beans that float.
Soak at room temperature for 8 hours or over overnight. Drain and rinse well.
Place the beans in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water.
Bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Skim any foam off the top.
Continue simmering until tender but not mushy, up to 2 more hours, stirring occasionally. The timing will depend on the freshness of your beans. I typically check them every 30 minutes. If they start to look dry, add a bit more water to the pot. When the beans are tender, drain and set aside.
Combine the quinoa and â¦Å¾ cups water in a medium pot.
Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 8 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let it sit, covered for 5 more minutes. Fluff with a fork.
In a large saucepan or wok, add two tablespoons of water.
Add the onions and garlic with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper and saute, over medium-high heat, until the onions are translucent.
Add the sweet potatoes, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are cooked.
Stir occasionally to ensure they are not sticking, and add more water if needed.
When the sweet potatoes are tender, add the cayenne, curry powder, basil, and stir to mix. Add the quinoa, beans, and tempeh and stir well to mix. Warm through and serve.
I like serving this with a drizzle of coconut-coriander chutney which adds a nice layer of flavor, but you can skip it. The hash is also delicious without it.

Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches with Pesto – V

Ingredients
2-3 small to medium zucchini (16 oz, 454 g)
2-3 small to medium summer squash or yellow squash (16 oz, 454 g)
lice the zucchini and summer squash lengthwise, 1/4- to 1/2-inch thick. Cut the bell pepper into 1-inch wide strips. Lay in a roomy baking dish.
Make the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Pour over the veggies and toss gently. Let sit for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the pesto.
Pesto
First, toast the almonds (an optional but worthwhile step – toasting adds wonderful flavor). To toast, set a small pan over medium heat and add the almonds. Stir frequently until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Add to the pitcher of a blender or a food processor fitted with the s-blade. Add the basil, garlic, thyme, lemon juice, nutritional yeast or Parmesan if using, and salt. Turn on the blender or food processor, streaming in the olive oil as it runs, until a sauce forms. Taste pesto and add additional salt if desired.
Prepare Grill
Prepare your grill – medium direct heat, about 375 degrees. Lay the vegetables on the preheated grill grates and cook until grill lines form, about 5 minutes.
Flip (we like to use long-handled tongs) and cook on the other side until tender and cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
Transfer from the grill to a platter. Keep the grill on to quickly toast the rolls. Slice the rolls in half and brush the insides with the 2 tablespoons olive oil. Lay the rolls cut-side down on the grill and cook just until warmed and a little golden and toasty. Remove from the grill
Assemble the Sandwiches.
Smear both sides of the roll with approx. 1 tablespoon of pesto on each side (more or less to taste).
Add a layer of zucchini, summer squash, and two or three strips of the pepper. Close, cut in half, and serve!

Stir in the rosemary and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, broth, Lentils and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring just to a boil. There will be a good amount of broth left in the pot, which is fine.
Turn off heat and stir in the kale until the kale is just wilted. Divide the lentil mixture among 4 large bowls and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper; fry 2 minutes for sunny-side up, or longer if firmer yolks are desired. Top each serving of black beans with a fried egg (for omnivore).

Instructions *
The recipe works with regular all purpose, spelt, or whole wheat pastry flour.
Warm milk in a bowl (not boiling ” 110 F if you have a candy thermometer).
Stir in the maple syrup, sprinkle yeast on top, and set aside for 5 minutes. (If it doesn’t bubble up, either your yeast is no good or milk was too hot or cold.) In a new bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir oil and vanilla into the milk mixture, then stir into the dry-ingredient bowl to form a dough. If needed (depending on flour used), add more flour until it’s dry enough to form into a ball.
Place the ball in a greased bowl, cover loosely, and set in a warm place for 1 hour, during which time it should double in size.
After the dough has risen, punch to deflate. Knead with your hands for 5 minutes, adding the 3 tbsp flour as you knead so the dough isn’t sticking to your hands.
On a floured surface, roll dough into a very thin rectangle (just under 1/4in). Stir together all remaining ingredients, and spread over the dough.
Cut long strips, then roll each up as tightly as possible. Place in a greased 9Ô13 pan. Loosely cover 30 minutes OR cover and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 325 F. Bake rolls for 20 minutes. Serve hot.

1 cup(8 oz) all-purpose flour(227g)
½ Tbsp(0.25 oz) baking powder(7g)

Serve with any available fruit
2 cups(16 oz) baked beans (V&O side dish)(454g)
Classic waffles
¾ cup(6 oz) all-purpose flour(170g)
1 tsp(0.174 oz) baking powder(4.872g)
1 Tbsp(0.5 oz) stevia(any type, or maple syrup)(14g)

⦺ cup(1 oz) oil(28.4g)
¾ cups(6 oz) milk of choice(170 g)
1 tsp(0.174 oz) vanilla extract(4.872g)
1 egg
Instructions *
Mix the milk, vanilla extract and the lemon juice or ACV together in a small bowl/measuring cup.
Set aside for about 5 minutes – this will make the vegan buttermilk.
In a large bowl, sift the flour, baking powder and salt. The sifting really helps to make the waffles fluffy.
Add the sugar, melted butter/oil, buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and using a spatula, gently mix the batter until JUST combined.
It’s okay (and normal) to have some lumps. The batter should be thick and scoopable.
Turn on and preheat your waffle maker according to whichever level that you want. I set mine to about medium because I like mine crisp and golden but also very fluffy.
Using a ½ cup (125mL) measuring cup, scoop out some batter and pour/spread into the middle of the greased waffle maker.
You don’t need to push it to the edges.
Close and let cook until the steam has COMPLETELY stopped from the waffle maker. Don’t open it before the steam is finished!
Remove each waffle and place on a baking sheet in your oven or toaster oven on “warm” or 200F/95C to keep warm and crispy until finished with the entire batter. Continue with the rest of the batter.
Classic Waffles
Preheat the waffle iron to the high heat setting.
In a medium bowl, mix the all purpose flour, baking powder, stevia, cinnamon, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In another bowl, whisk the oil, milk, vanilla and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until the batter is smooth.
Grease or butter your waffle iron. Add the batter (a little over 1 cup for a Belgian waffle maker or a little over ½ cup for a standard waffle maker) into the center of the waffle iron, then cook according to the waffle iron’s instructions until golden brown: about 3 to 4 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Remove the cooked waffles and place them on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet without stacking.
Make the waffles to order, or place cooked waffles in a 250°F oven to keep warm.
Cooked waffles can be frozen; place them in a plastic bag and remove the remaining air with a straw before sealing.
To reheat, remove from the freezer and lightly toast in a toaster.

Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, stirring occasionally. I recommend letting the pudding rest in the refrigerator overnight, but 4 hours will do if you’re feeling antsy.
Before serving, stir the pudding to make sure that there aren’t any clumps.
Spoon pudding into bowls or glasses. Garnish with toppings of your choice.
Tofu Scramble
Drain the tofu container, then pat the tofu dry with a clean dish towel. Place the tofu in a large bowl and use your fingers to break the tofu into bite-sized irregular shaped pieces. (It might be a little cold on your hands: don’t worry, it should only take a few seconds!)
Stir in the olive oil, turmeric, salt and pepper. Add the cumin and garlic powder to a dry skillet. Cook on medium heat for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tofu and increase the heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and starting to lightly brown.

1 small red onion, chopped finely
1 pound Beyond Beef, Beef Crumbles
1 cup tomato paste + 1 T agave nectar thoroughly mixed, then divided
3 T. Flax meal (freshly ground if possible)
¾ cup vegan parmesan cheese (recommended brand Go Veg)
1 slice Ciao Cheese (Creamy Original) cut in small dice or shreds
2 tablespoons vegetable broth or water
1 t. olive oil to grease pie pan
Salt to taste
1 cup fresh basil leaves
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Thoroughly mix 3 T. flax meal with 9 T. water and put in fridge for 15 minutes. If possible, grind the flax meal by putting whole flax seeds in a high speed blender.
In a large skillet, sauté the red onion in the vegetable broth until soft. If it becomes too dry add a few more tablespoons of broth or pasta water.
Add beefy crumble mixture and ¾ cup of the tomato/agave mixture.
Add half the pasta water and stir well. Consistency will be thick and chunky.
In a large bowl, mix together the cooked spaghetti, flax mixture, and parmesan cheese and the remaining tomato paste mixture.
Grease a 9 or 10-inch pie pan with 1 t. olive oil. Spread half the beef crumble mixture over the bottom of the pan. Add the spaghetti mixture and press it down to level it. Top with the remaining meat mixture, then scatter the Ciao cheese on top.
Bake the pie in the oven for 30 minutes. Let sit 10 minutes. Cut into six wedges.
16 oz. canned white or lima beans, drained and rinsed
1 T. olive oil
1 c. chopped onion
1 c. chopped carrot (about one large carrot)
½ c. diced celery
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 c. vegetable broth
1-28 oz. can of diced tomatoes
½ c. elbow macaroni or other small pasta
2 sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
Vegan Parmesan (recommended brand Go Veggie!)
Directions
Heat 1 T. olive oil in soup pot on medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrot and saute until softened, about five minutes.
Reduce heat to low and add garlic, saute an additional 2 minutes.
Add vegetable broth, rosemary sprig, bay leaves, and bring to boil.
When broth is boiling add pasta. Cook until pasta is al dente (firm to the bite). Add beans and stir until heated through. Remove and discard rosemary and bay leaves.
1 pound box of orecchiette (resembles a small ear) pasta or small pasta shells
1 c. fresh flat-leaf parsley minced (from 3 bunches)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh mint
1.5 cups grape tomatoes, cut in half
2 Persian cucumbers diced (any cucumber will do)
3 scallions, sliced thinly on bias
Dressing
1 T. olive oil
Juice of 2 large lemons (1/2 cup)
3 garlic cloves
3 t. salt
1 t. fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Do not overcook. Pasta should be firm to the bite. While pasta is cooking, make dressing.
Dressing
In blender, combine lemon juice, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper on medium high speed until thoroughly blended. While still blending, drizzle in olive oil. Continue to mix until dressing is fully blended.
Drain pasta. Toss with dressing and remaining ingredients and toss thoroughly. Serve at room temperature or chilled. This can be made the night before.
Bring 4-6 quarts of water to boil. Add salt to taste and boil pasta shells until firm to the bite.
Remove thick stems from broccoli and discard or save for stock. Cut florets into bite-sized pieces. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil on broccoli with ¼ tsp. salt. When fully coated, saute in large pot over medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until broccoli is bright green and crisp.
Drain the pasta, reserving one cup of pasta water.
Lower the heat on the broccoli to low. Add pasta water, garlic, and pasta shells and continue to stir for 2-3 minutes until fully incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste.
16 oz. dried pasta ” any style ” check the label to make sure it does not contain dairy
Directions
Heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about five minutes. Lower heat and add garlic, being sure not to burn the garlic as it will cause bitterness. Add tomatoes and bay leaf and increase temperature again until simmering. Keep simmering for 20 minutes. Sauce will reduce a bit. If you find the tomato to be too bitter for your taste, add a shredded carrot to add sweetness and reduce the bitterness. You can also add a touch of agave nectar if you like a sweeter sauce.
The sauce will be thick and chunky. You can leave it this way, or if you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender or regular blender to pulse the sauce until it is the desired thickness.
Cook pasta according to package directions ” add some salt to the water once it is boiling. Drain pasta (do not rinse with water ” you want the starchiness of the pasta to help the sauce “stick” to it). Top with pasta sauce and mix. Add fresh basil ribbons on top and serve immediately.
In summary, pasta is a secondary part of One Community’s open source food program. Because pasta is very tedious to make ourselves, it will be purchased in bulk, especially in the first year on the property. During this time, having pasta enables us to create easy to make, sustainable, nutritious, and delicious recipes that everyone will love.
FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Q: Is One Community going to be a vegetarian community?
The One Community team consists of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores. In accordance with our philosophy for The Highest Good of All we are maintaining a non-idealogical approach to food choices. That said, also in accordance with this philosophy, we will only support and consume food items that are ethically and sustainably raised, managed, and produced. The consensus process will be used to decide the evolution of the One Community food plan.
Q: I'm vegetarian/vegan, would I have to participate in any part of the process or raising animals for food and/or eating/cooking them?
No, you would not have to participate in any aspect of One Community's food diversity that didn't agree with your personal beliefs and preferences.
Q: I'm an omnivore or vegan, what if I don't want to eat a vegan or omnivore diet?
Vegan recipes were chosen that could easily have animal-based proteins added for omnivores
Omnivore recipes were chosen that could easily be made with 100% vegan ingredients
Alternating weeks of omnivore and vegan focused menus: The weeks are alternating so that we could design complete 1-week menus for each dietary preference to provide complete menus for both philosophies AND so that groups containing mixed preferences would have an equal way of focusing on each dietary preference for a week while still providing for the other preference as per #1 above. They alternate to address any concerns that recipes aren't as good when a vegan recipe is made omnivore just by adding animal protein, or an omnivore recipe is made vegan just by replacing all animal-based ingredients.
In this way all dietary preferences can be provided, any sacrifices are shared in alternating weeks, and groups completely preferring vegan or omnivore options have clear menus they can follow for both choices.
Q: How do you intend to produce spices, mill grain for flour, cooking oil, etc. etc.
