I've been making a fairly standard arrabbiata sauce for months, and I'd like to expand the number of sauces I can make.

However, many of these recipes involve cheese and/or milk, but I'm sadly lactose intolerant and would prefer to avoid these ingredients.

What others sauces could I be making, and what pasta should I use with them?

  It's not a direct answer to what you asked, so I am commenting -- but I have successfully used soy milk in some pasta sauce recipes that call for milk. (Soy cheese, however, are more hit-or-miss.) Searching for "vegan saucename" can help.

  Depending on the degree of lactose intolerance, lactose-free dairy may still cause a reaction. (It also sometimes presents with milk protein intolerance or allergy.) Otherwise, though, good suggestions!
