When you think of Easter menus, they’re usually centered on meat—ham, or the classic lamb. However if you’re hosting vegetarians for the holidays, rest assured your options go way beyond salad and side dishes. We have a carrot osso busco recipe that’s flavored with dried porcini mushrooms; for dessert, avocado and coconut oil make for rich vegan chocolate cupcakes. Check out our full spread of vegetarian recipes below.

Pasta Primavera

Credit: Victor Protasio
Go to Recipe

This Pasta Primavera is buttery and rich but still feels light from the lemon zest and fresh herbs—it’s the perfect dish to make after a visit to your local farmers market. The colorful play of spring vegetables makes it as pleasing to the eyes as it is to your palate; if you’re lucky enough to find beautiful red or purple carrots, add them after cooking to keep from giving your pasta dish a blushing hue.

Potato Soup with Sage Butter and Rye Crumbs

Credit: Greg DuPree
Go to Recipe

The sour rye crumb here makes a great contrast to a creamy, rich soup. Slather extra sage butter on a slice of bread. Verjus, made from the juice of unripened wine grapes, is acidic but gentler than vinegar and helps balance the richness of this soup.

Baked Spaetzle with Green Pea Pesto

Credit: Eva Kolenko
Go to Recipe

While spaetzle is traditionally boiled like pasta, here the mini dumplings are tossed in olive oil and baked with leeks until crisp and browned, then blanketed with a creamy fonduta. The herb-and-pea pesto takes the dish from comfort fare to a vibrant spring side.
