From family favourites to dinner party delights, check out these Italian vegetarian ideas, a mouthwatering medley of meat-free marvels!

Perfect pasta includes spring vegetable fettuccine alfredo, a bubbling baked ricotta and spinach rigatoni, and a luxurious twisted pasta with brown butter and walnuts. For hearty winter warmers, try minestrone with rice and beans, or a pearl barley risotto with roasted winter vegetables. Italian vegetarian dishes don’t come any more famous - or tasty - than a classic pizza Margherita, and if you’re having a party, aubergine bruschetta with pita chips, and crunchy crostini with ricotta and goat’s cheese are hand-held heaven!
