Description
This Easy 1-Pot Vegan Spaghetti is a flavorful and wholesome meal ready in just 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (or broth/water for oil-free)
- 1 cup diced onion
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 ½ cups cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced (~8 ounces)
- 1 medium yellow or red bell pepper, diced
- ½ tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 1 tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning blend)
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 2 (24-oz.) jars marinara sauce (Rao’s or Organico Bello recommended)
- 1 ½ cups water
- 12 oz dry gluten-free spaghetti (Jovial or Barillo suggested; any pasta shape works)
- 1 big handful spinach or other greens (optional)
- ½ cup roughly chopped fresh basil
- Vegan parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Warm a large pot over medium heat, then add olive oil. After 30 seconds, add diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until lightly browned and translucent, stirring occasionally and lowering heat if browning too quickly.
- Stir in minced garlic, sliced mushrooms, diced bell pepper, and salt. Continue sautéing and stirring frequently for 5-7 minutes until vegetables soften and slightly caramelize.
- Add dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes to the pot. Stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in marinara sauce and water; bring the mixture to a simmer. Break the spaghetti in half (unless using smaller pasta), add it to the pot, and stir to separate any clumps.
- If using, add spinach or other greens now. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 13 minutes, stirring twice during this time.
- Turn off the heat and let the covered pot stand for 2 minutes. Stir again to break up any remaining clumps. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, oregano, or red pepper flakes as desired.
- Plate the spaghetti and top with fresh basil and vegan parmesan cheese if desired. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days and reheat with added water if needed.
Notes
- Adjust spices to your preference.
