Tip
Vegan carbonara pasta is a plant-based version of the classic Italian dish. Instead of eggs and cheese, a creamy and cheesy sauce can be made using Vegan-friendly ingredients like eggplant and plant-based cream. With a few simple substitutions, it's possible to enjoy a Vegan version of this beloved pasta dish that is just as rich and flavoursome as the original.
