    I have to say that I love spaghetti a lot. It’s most likely my favourite pasta shape, and goes so well with any type of sauce. It’s even better with the addition of lots of vegetables for extra crunch and plant based yumminess! Sometimes, the most simple dinners taste the best, and the recipe I'm sharing today is a perfect example of that.

    How to make vegan vegetable spaghetti

    It's incredibly easy! You want to start by cooking the spaghetti according to instructions on packaging. Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a frying pan and adding the onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant, then add tomato paste and cook for a few minutes more.

    Now add the other vegetables. I used carrots, purple cabbage and red bell pepper. Also add chestnut mushrooms, cumin and paprika. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the mushrooms are fragrant.

    Add plant based milk and tamari and stir together. Then, transfer the spaghetti from the saucepan and proceed to add nutritional yeast, lime juice and cornstarch. Toss the spaghetti in the sauce, and serve when the sauce thickens.

    Recipe tips and ingredient substitutions

    • This recipe works with any pasta shape or variety of your choice.
    • Feel free to add other vegetables - this vegetable spaghetti is great for cleaning out the fridge!
    • I love serving this meal with sesame seeds, scallions and grated vegan cheese.
    • You can keep this pasta in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container, but I would not recommend freezing it as freezing pasta causes it to break apart upon reheating.
    • This recipe also works really well with the addition of beans/pulses of your choice. Personally, chickpeas are my favorite addition.
