The dairy-free sauce on top adds a creamy touch that gives this cavatini extra flavor.
This recipe does take a few steps to come together but they aren’t complicated and it’s so worth it!
Let’s make Gluten-Free and Dairy-free Cavatini!

You can use any type of gluten-free pasta but traditionally cavatini has three different types of pasta. I chose elbow, penne, and a small lasagna pasta. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of each pasta and cook together in a large pot of boiling water with a couple of pinches of salt. You will only need to boil the pasta for 5 minutes. (It will finish cooking in the oven.) Drain pasta.
While the pasta is cooking brown the ground beef and sausage together in a large skillet or dutch oven. Drain off excess fat.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the cooked pasta in a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish.
Take 2 cups of the spaghetti sauce and pour over the pasta.
Pour the remaining spaghetti sauce into a large mixing bowl and mix in the cooked ground beef and sausage, pepperoni slices, basil, and oregano.
In a medium size bowl mix together the mayonnaise, almond milk, eggs, nutritional yeast, hot sauce, and salt. Then spoon evenly over the meat mixture.
Bake the cavatini at 350° for 35- 40 minutes or golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!
We love to serve Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Everything Bagels with our cavatini. Look at your local grocery store for them at a much lower price than those featured on Amazon.
