    Let's talk about one-pot pasta for a second. It's practically magic, especially if you're short on time and hate washing up. The two usually go hand in hand. Washing up isn't too much of an unenjoyable process, but it often takes longer than the actual cooking!

    Well, one-pot meals save time, energy and washing up. All you have is one pot to deal with, and a belly full of pasta. What more could you ask for?!]

    If you decide to miss out on this vegan one pot pasta recipe then well, that's your loss! Anyone that loves pasta should put it on their dinner rotation.

    More specifically? Here we're talking chewy, tender spaghetti, cooked in rich coconut milk with an abundance of spices: paprika for a generous hint of spice, cumin for earthiness, turmeric for depth and that beautiful orange colour. Apple cider vinegar adds some tanginess.

    We are also adding kidney beans, which are delicious and a great source of plant based protein. Out of all bean varieties, i find these work particularly well in pastas and salads.

    And of course, no Earth of Maria recipe is complete without a lot of vegetables. Here I added onions, mushrooms, zucchini, bell pepper and carrots, but you can customise it to your own preferences. Have a look in your fridge and get creative! And I'd love to hear all about your final creations in the comments.

    It's...

    • Savoury and rich.
    • Made using simple, healthy ingredients.
    • Wholesome.
    • Incredibly flavourful.
    • Slightly spicy (just the right amount).
    • Oil-free.
    • Gluten-free.

    • Easy and beginner-friendly.

    Ingredients and substitutions

    Vegan spaghetti with vegetables mushrooms and beans
    • Onion. I used basic white onion, but red onion works really well too.
    • Mushrooms. Chestnut mushrooms are my favourites to use for this recipe, but shiitake work really well too. Avoid plain white mushrooms because they don't achieve the same depth of flavour.
    • Zucchini. Most commonly known as courgette here in the UK.
    • Carrots.
    • Bell pepper. Use any colour you have on hand.
    • Smoked paprika.
    • Kidney beans. You can leave these out entirely or swap them for a different bean variety. To really switch things up, crumble in some tofu.
    • Coconut milk - the canned variety. You can use light coconut milk depending on how rich/low in fat you want this recipe to be.
    • Oat milk. Or any other plant based milk variety, just ensure it's unsweetened. You can use vegetable stock, but the result won't be as creamy.
    • Gluten-free spaghetti. You can also use ordinary spaghetti if you're not avoiding gluten, or any other pasta shape.
    • Lemon juice.
    • Apple cider vinegar.
    • Turmeric.
    • Cumin.
    • Vegetable stock. For an even creamier pasta, sub with more canned coconut milk or plant based milk of your choice.
    • Salt.

    How to make a creamy vegan one pot pasta

    Sauté the onions and the mushrooms for 3-4 minutes in a large non-stick saucepan until they begin to soften.

    Add the zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir for a minute to coat the vegetables.

    Stir through the kidney beans, then pour in the coconut milk and oat milk. Add the spaghetti, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, cumin and vegetable stock. Simmer, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked through. Add more vegetable stock if it gets too dry.

    Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

    How should I store this one pot spaghetti?

    This dish is best served immediately. However, you can store it in the fridge in an air-tight container for 2-3 days. Reheat on the stove (you may need to add more liquid as you do so).
