5 Italian-Inspired Vegan Meals for Under $3 (Budget-Friendly)

[@Whydowesmile]

These are the best cheap vegan recipes I've found. They actually look like you're not sacrificing any flavour for price!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

That makes me so happy to hear!

[@crystltwilight]

Some Pixie Dust isn't the dried pasta made with egg? It doesn't say Vegan on the box

[@Whydowesmile]

crystltwilight most pastas aren't made with egg, many things are 'accidentally vegan' when you read the ingredients and don't label themselves as such. Always double check though!

[@CheapLazyVegan]

omg this is amazing. i wanna do a korean version of this!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

omg you should!!!! People would love that!

[@IlastarothTayre]

As an Italian, I really liked these ideas and screw those complaining about modifying our food, some of our most famous dishes are vegan! (Pasta al pesto, pasta al sugo, aglio olio e peperoncino, peperonata...) Also I really like the twist on the eggplant lasagna, which is actually a parmigiana ;)

[@foggyaf5531]

Aglio e olio is a personal fave of mine.

[@LadyVidmar]

I just recently tried an eggplant caponata and was completely blown away at just how insanely delicious it was...also vegan! And I've always been head over heels in love with minestrone (I love it best with chickpeas!)

[@IlastarothTayre]

@@LadyVidmar caponata is one of my mother's favourite dishes to make, so simple yet so good!

[@paulan2598]

tried the gnocchis just now and omg i‘m obsessed. Used Oat Flour and Sweet Potato instead of normal flour and potatoes and it honestly worked really well and tasted absolutely delicious 😋

[@marafabbri9619]

I'm italian and I think you did an amazing job with these recipies! They seems delicious! And yes, I'll admit it, we are a little bit obsessed with our food ☺️

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

aw, thank you!

[@esmeedenters]

Awesome recipes Caitlin! This video shows that being Vegan doesn't have to be expensive. Love your creativity Can't wait to try some of these out.

[@carolinasoria5]

Next time you make gnocci try to add very little flour, I don't remember the proportions but its not as much as you added, and try to fold it in, not keading like a pizza/bread dough. This will make your gnocci super light, airy and fluffy! You can make them with sweet potato too!! Chef Chloe Coscarelli has a great recipe for them, they taste amazing

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Ah, ok! The articles I said online said you needed to add a lot of flour :/ it was my first time making them haha, I'll try it your way next time!

[@carolinasoria5]

Caitlin Shoemaker well it sure depends, on the potato and the way you cook it and such. But try it different ways in small batches and see which one you like better!

[@sleepingterror7]

There are many versions of gnocchi. The ratio of flour-to-potatoes will vary greatly. Some recipes use eggs, some do not. I usually go with: 2 pounds russet potatoes 2 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon salt thespruceeats.com has a good recipe. Omitting the egg btw just means that they aren't as yellow ^_^ Edit: oh and you just roll them on the back of a fork to make the gnocchi marks.

[@coolhellu]

i live with my mom since i dont have enough resoures to move out and im so glad to have found your videos!! she never wants to let me cook anything since if i ruin it it'll cost us and our budget is tight. but these look like recipes even i wouldnt ruin and theyre cheap too! thank you!!! i cant wait to try out all of your recipes lol

[@caseyfanning5962]

A Greek video would be great!!

[@christinamariemoney]

yes! greek is my fav :)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

A lot of people are asking for this! I will have to do some research haha but I will do one eventually :)

[@caseyfanning5962]

It would be a great cuisine. Any one you do though will be delicious!

[@nicolecuadra5550]

Caitlin Shoemaker Check out Nini Girl's KZbin channel! She's Greek and does oil-free recipes!

[@nozee77]

Nicole Cuadra thanks for the channel recommendation, went over and insta-subscribed. 😜

[@Ms.Lady_Bri]

As an Italian, I really appreciate what u said in the beginning of the video. 😊 I personally think u did great on these recipes. I look forward to tryin at least one of them.

[@arriannahamrah4410]

Indian and Asian cuisine!! Love the video babe!

[@SayuriWada]

Arrianna Hamrah: Indian is Asian..

[@MawksProductions]

Yes but commonly when people in the US refer to "asian" they mean south-east asian. India is after all a subcontinent in itself :-)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Definitely going to do both, just have to decide which one to do first!

[@michaelahooks5102]

Caitlin Shoemaker Asian 😍

[@stefanyvizcarra9981]

Asian!!

[@Marie-ut4ht]

I am currently trying to transition into a vegan lifestyle but it's challenging because my family doesn't really get it and they still buy me non-vegan food and get confused when I say I don't want it. My dads side is Italian so maybe I should make them some of these recipes to put things in perspective :)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

what a great idea!

[@french1375]

I'm in the same boat.

[@flaviocorreia4486]

Show them cowspiracy, that's gonna put things into perspective!

[@katysilva2322]

Marie Im mexican and my family is used to cook with cheese and meat so is very hard for me too, but dont give up!

[@JelenaBraum]

Cowspiracy is bullshit. It won't put anything in perspective, unless the audience is brainless.

[@anoukduquette1222]

For my lasagna I mix up red beans, brocoli and jalapenio pepper to make a layer that actually stick together and it is really good! I will definitely try the eggplant as pasta that is so bright

[@leahnicoleperez]

Also.. please do THAI inspired 🙏🏽

[@christinamariemoney]

omg i love thai food!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

oooh love it!

[@EmsIsFab]

Mmmmm yes!

[@sallynie8095]

You can do somtam..,tomyam.. it is yummy.. i love to eat tomyam with lot of vegies.such as.tomatoes,mushroom,carrot,yellow onion and baby corn..

[@vicw4522]

Look up any som tum recipe, and replace fish sauce with soy sauce. This is every thai persons favourite dish, they even do it on thai michelin restaurants, even though it's ridiculously cheap. Google will be your friend, but Pailin who's a vlogger shows it on videos.. :)

[@SGeerdink1]

In my mind, Italian Cuisine uses a ton of olive oil and seems quite difficult to attempt an Italian oil-free cooking, and seeing this video just got my MIND BLOWN. Brilliant! I've been getting great inspiration from your videos ( especially cause my husband and I are avoiding animal products and having a low fat diet due to health issues). Keep up the great work!

[@KateNotKatelynn]

Healthy southern comfort food!

[@urmomisthebomb902]

Very professional and helpful! I live in a meat eating household and I am thinking about turning vegan from being vegetarian. Your videos are helping me so much. Keep up the great work!

[@cloclo5290]

Akhila Komma Yesterday I transitioned from vegetarian to vegan.Go for it!

[@ashlynnhubbard4457]

I made the #2 one the Alfredo, and it's really good but next time I will cook the garlic then blend it with the sauce. And a little more salt and pepper and it'll be perfect!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

great idea!

[@polinabushkova6743]

In italian the last recipe,where you used aubergines,is called Parmigiana,it's the same as Lasagna,but made with greens!!!I think the one you made looks delitius😍

[@KindleKindKel1]

Caitlin You make being vegan sooo exciting! Really starting to love going plant-based! Yum thanks xx

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

that's what I love to hear!

[@elisacaobelli3178]

small tip, when you make the gnocchi and crush the potatoes, let them cool so it will serve less flour :) ps I'm Italian and I just love this video so much, unfortunately in Italy there aren't many vegan dishes. I am vegan and sicuramtw I will make some recipes of this video! ❤️

[@okjessicah]

LOVED THIS!! Another recipe idea that id love to see: eggplant pulled "pork"

[@christinamariemoney]

such a good idea! would love to see this :)

[@azugirl111]

It'd probably work better if you use jackfruit instead

[@endoftheweek]

your welcome ...not eggplant tho kzbin.info/www/bejne/foiweqOandGJkLs

[@marlenedistancia452]

I am GLAD you used the word "inspired" in the title of your video. I was already getting offended but when you explained the situation, I was relieved. Thank you for that kind gesture and your videos are amazing, help others and overall healthy :) Stupefacente!

[@carlottamanghi3251]

It's true... unfortunately AHAH! Italian people get "offended" when someone do something wrong with "our cuisine", for us is a tradition :) Actually, Alfredo pasta doesn't exist in Italy, it's an American invention i would say! By the way i really love your videos Caitlin!! I never miss one! Kisses from italy :) 🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@carlottamanghi3251]

I almost forget, this type of Lasagna that you make looks like our "parmigiana" :) you're such a good chef, i want you in my kitchen everyday ahaha :)

[@veronicamazzolari7854]

Io adoro i suoi video ma sta cosa di Alfredo deve finire😂

Don't even try to mess up our food, this "Italian" is bad enough 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@elenamarceca462]

I want to point that Marinara sauce and Alfredo pasta aren't a thing here in italy, but I truly appreciate the fact that you cooked pasta properly! You are the first forage person who did it!

[@tugcekaplan4997]

Try Turkish cuisine as well 😍😍 we don't have kebabs or doners only. We also have amazing variety of vegeterian recipes. Maybe you can make them vegan too! 😄😊 thank you for the new ideas and have a nice day

[@marellabagnoli8868]

I am from Italy and I really like the way you reinvent our dishes, especially the lasagne 😍 I will definetly do it. Great job xoxo

[@esmee928]

Quick tip: use oil to cook eggplant. It honestly makes it a thousand times better! 😊

[@mariaa9056]

Sasha J I agree! Yum but she doesn't cook with oil (that's why she uses water to sauté)

[@nixrosalilapink]

Sasha J i think you're right but i think caitlin is mostly oil free. :)

[@Nicholas-ut1dw]

Oil is bad for yoy

[@الراحلحفيظة]

Olive oil works very well 😀

[@ruth078]

Nick Daponte no. Coconut and olive oil are good for you.

[@makenziestroup4780]

I love and appreciate that you show each item and its cost at the beginning of the video! So helpful! :)

[@hannahc4641]

Loved this video! I'll definitely be making the gnocchi soon, I've been meaning to try making gnocchi for a while. I'd love to see a video in this series with a Greek theme and a Japanese one too!

[@christinamariemoney]

greek food is my fav! yum!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Thank you Hannah!

[@shushuchan2913]

Hannah C okay I really need to ask this, I'm sorry. is there anything that isn't more or less just meat in Greek cuisine? the only two Greek things I have eaten since going vegetarian are feta and tzaziki haha

[@jessicawood3913]

Many traditional Greek recipes are vegan anyways but they call it nistisima, it's just their religious fasting recipes which happen to be vegan :P

[@cindirevelle4100]

Hi Caitlin: We are Vegan Newbies and I made your eggplant lasagna tonight for dinner and even my "Meat Lover" husband enjoyed it. I add two mushrooms I had on hand and it was delicious. Easy and simple ingredients are a great help. Thanks for sharing!

[@Kris10Valle]

Cuban inspired! There's a lot of inspiration you can get from Miami....

[@sylviakatabaazi3767]

I am not vegetarian but girl you are almost converting me....Your presentations and your calm voice makes me want to watch all of your videos. Keep it up!

[@emely2314]

Why is it that in these vegan videos no one ever uses olive oil

[@aarthisitara]

there is a news, in India, at least very recently that cotton oil is an additive in olive oil. Cotton oil is poisonous and creates cancer. I use "chekku ennai", meaning, I carry peanuts, or anything I want an oil off, I give to to a grinder shop and he gives me the oil under my watch

[@eevagirl]

Cool@@aarthisitara (-:

[@shauntelgill9384]

cause oil is fattening it has fat in it andd vegan like to eat has low fat has possible to lose weight

[@aarthisitara]

@@shauntelgill9384 Hi there, vegans are not trying to lose weight, alright! We are kind people who don't want to abuse animals and suck on them. We feed purely out of Plants, only plant based food is consumed by vegans. Now.... the oil part, some don't consume oil because there is cotton oil mixed with most oils. In the country am from luckily, we have people who would press the oil out of seeds and give it to us... it is called chekku ennai, this way, there are no adulterants added to the oil and the oil is pure.....

[@ceterumcenseocarthaginemes455]

@@shauntelgill9384 lol but fat will not make you as fat as carbs do. Carbs put out fat making hormones

[@pups3756]

Caitlin! I’ve recently become interested in eating vegan then I discovered you. I’m an Italian lady with a lot of cooking experience. Your eggplant parm is amazing. Of course vegan isn’t the same as the traditional recipe so thank you so much for figuring this recipe out. My brother is recently vegan and it’s not only helping with his health it’s reversing his issues. So I made this recipe for his visit and we enjoyed it immensely!! ❣️keep up your good work and positive disposition.

The first recipe looked SO GOOD! We're experiencing a blizzard here in Wyoming and I'm out of quite a few things, my little boy is asleep & I don't want to wake him up to drag him to town just for a few things....but like...that looks really good...!

[@JtotheDC]

Why do so many vegan channels out there not use any oil or salt? One tablespoon isn’t gonna kill you, especially when making a pound of pasta. Sauté develops flavours so much more! And salt too! I feel like so much of the enjoy,ent of food is lost 😕

[@WalkingWoman-k7x]

Serephium food should be first for healthy nourishment and then for enjoyment and i think your taste buds adjust

[@CutiePie-xi4zo]

Serephium fat is really misunderstood because of propaganda put out half a century ago now by people trying to sell diet food and pills. It happens to within reasonable amounts be good for your nervous system and skin...only 2 examples.

[@kaskos2243]

I was going to ask the same thing. It was so weird to me that she didn't use oil to saute and flawor anything. Oil makes food so much tastier, because otherwise is a bit bland. Furthrmore, oil, especially olive oil is good for your health, in right amounts, that is.

[@gorgeouss79]

Serephium I was wondering the same thing! A bit odd IMO

[@Qdouble]

oil is saturated fat which raises the risk of heart disease. A little bit won't kill you of course, but many just go oil free. It's preferable to get fat from healthy sources like avocados and nuts.

[@smallfootprint2961]

OMG, Caitlin. Pure Genius. I want to make them all, but my big thrill is to have a totally vegan recipe for potato gnocchi. My daughter and I were just talking about trying to make something with egg plant that would resemble egg plant parm. You're a peach. Love the pizza recipe too. Thanks for keeping your posts up here. Glad I found it.

[@michellesmixedmediamadness]

Lunches, that don't need to be reheated and aren't always salads and wraps.

[@mariakhan7986]

I did one this week for meal prep it was cous cous with premixed herbs, salad consisting of just tomato and cucumber and a tahini potato salad. This was tasty af and very filling since I work long hours. These were ingredients I already had and since I didn't have time to shop I made these.

[@itssewxtra1713]

Hey Caitlin, So often when people do multiple themed recipes, (vegan of course)on a budget they are not up to scratch. I would make all of these, with my own spin of course! It depends on what you have available. But seriously, you nailed this one!!

[@julianagc1989]

I Love this!! Even though the price will be different in Brazil the recipes are great. I also vote for Asian or Chinese inspired recipes

Love these videos. I'd be really interested in Asian cuisine 💁🏻

[@tinatangos]

I am writing from Italy and enjoyed this! It's true that Italians get pretty passionate about cuisine and traditional recipes and can get offended over changes or things not being done correctly, etc (in fact, I was just following a long and heated discussion on why we are not supposed to cut basil, just as an example)...but even within the Italian community, every family has its own recipe secrets passed through generations and no two sauces are the same....so its hard to say there is only one way to prepare a dish. Though some things are universal, such as always salt the pasta water. :)

[@veronicamazzolari7854]

You were very good actually! Just a little info: Alfredo's pasta doesn't exist in Italy, it's not so popular and no one does it

Just made the eggplant lasagna and loaded veggies and pasta. Easy and quick recipes to make. This busy working vegan thanks you!

[@TheSusiDorigoni]

I just give you an advice from italy. Try to cook the tomato sauce with olive oil and onion or garlic and add salt and basil. They give more flavour to your sauce! and olive oil is a really good fat

[@rchfireinthebelly77]

Some of the leading doctors in the whole food plant based area are saying stay away from every oil. It is a very processed . When you eat olives you get the fiber etc. Not in oil. So if you use oil fine. She chooses not to use it and you want to then go ahead. Let everyone be happy.

[@juliamaraviglia2132]

Great recipes! Noticed in your gnocchi recipe, your potatoes looked ‘green’ before cooking. Potatoes should be stored in the dark, greening of potatoes is a poison that develops in light and can cause stomach upsets❤️✨
