Giada De Laurentiis is known for her simple, delicious Italian and Italian-American fare, much of which can be easily made on a frenzied weeknight. What she's not as well known for, however, is the bevy of vegan and vegetarian recipes in her repertoire — which, in many instances, are even quicker and just as delicious.
With pastas, salads, drinks, starters and snacks, De Laurentiis's vegan and vegetarian fare runs the gamut. These dishes are great for dinner parties, soirees or a simple night in. They are all customizable and straight-forward, too.
