Timpano

For a show-stopping vegan main dish for the holidays, this timpano recipe fits the bill! It’s loaded with pasta, veggies, and creamy vegan ricotta, all nestled in a golden pastry crust.

Timpano is an elaborate Italian dish that often makes an appearance during the holidays and other celebrations (kind of like lasagna or stuffed shells, but even fancier!). And, as you may have guessed, it’s usually not vegan. Every family has their own spin on timpano, but a typical version might have layers of pasta, meatballs, cheeses, and hard-boiled eggs, all baked in a pastry crust. It’s so over-the-top, it’s guaranteed to get a big reaction when you set it on the table! It’s also called Timpana in Maltese.

My vegan timpano recipe has the pastry crust and pasta, but swaps in vegan mozzarella and ricotta, heaps of veggies, and plant-based sausage. If you’re still looking for the perfect vegan main dish for the holidays, this is it!
