Simple + Easy Spaghetti Recipe (Vegan + Gluten-Free)
I love spaghetti so much, but I never felt capable of making it, so I wanted a simple, easy spaghetti recipe that’s vegan and gluten-free. I finally have it.
I’ve loved spaghetti since childhood, whenever a hearty serving was dished up at family meals. And it always seemed extra special to eat spaghetti while dining out, communal-style.
But that was before I knew I had celiac disease, and before I had to start eating plant-based vegan. Once I made those dietary changes, it became hard for me to find delicious spaghetti.
For years, gluten-free spaghetti noodles tasted like sticky cardboard, even under the care of chefs. And it was nearly impossible to find gluten-free spaghetti that was also vegan. Until now.
While enjoying Canada through the winter, this simple spaghetti recipe was perfected. This easy recipe now tastes better to me than any other I’ve tried.
It’s savory. It’s rich. It’s hearty. It’s delicious. Plus, it’s so easy to make.
Recipe
2 boxes organic chickpea spaghetti noodles (cooked per box instructions, in one pot)
spaghetti sauce (cooked per the following instructions, in another pot)…
2 jars organic pasta sauce from any shelf (GF, vegan; I like portobello)
2 small cans organic mushrooms (I like them already sliced)
1 can organic black olives (I like to slice these; quantity added to taste)
1 large organic sweet yellow onion (finely diced)
organic garlic (finely diced, added to taste, I like a good amount)
dried basil (sprinkled in, added to taste, I like a good amount)
organic black pepper (to taste, I go easy on this, just a sprinkle)
organic white pepper (to taste, I go easy on this, just a sprinkle)
before serving, mix the spaghetti sauce and noodles together (then serve)
That’s it. So quick. So easy. So delicious. Such a hearty treat.
My partner loves to add other items to this spaghetti. Leftover corn? He tosses it in (hence the corn kernels in the photo above).
I love sticking to the recipe above to get the exact taste I love.
