And you need only one pot to make it! This vegan one pot pasta really couldn’t be much easier. You just throw in all of the ingredients – including the uncooked pasta – and then cook it for about 15 minutes.
This way it’s packed with flavor and it saves you lots of time and also dirty dishes. As all my recipes, it’s of course 100 % vegan.
When I first tried one pot pasta, I was actually really skeptical. I mean it does sound a bit weird, doesn’t it? And when I shared my vegan one pot spaghetti with vegetables on my Facebook page, some people actually got really mad. Haha!
One guy even commented that this would be considered a blasphemy in Italy. Well, this vegan one pot pasta might not be a traditional pasta recipe, but it’s so darn delicious!! It’s like an Asian style one pot pasta with the coconut milk and the red curry paste. Super aromatic, a bit spicy, and sooo creamy!
What You Need For This Vegan One Pot Pasta
- pasta (I used fusilli, but other small pasta work just as well)
- one zucchini
- frozen peas
- one red bell pepper
- cherry tomatoes
- one onion
- two cloves of garlic
- coconut milk
- diced tomatoes
- red curry paste (make sure it’s vegan!)
As always, you can find the full recipe beneath the text section in a separate, printable recipe box.
I hope you like this vegan one pot pasta with veggies as much as I do. Let me know if you give it a try. You might also like my Asian spaghetti.
As always, I love hearing from you guys, whether it’s on the blog, on Facebook, or Instagram.

Absolutely love this recipe, the tastes are amazing! I don’t cook often, but when I cook this is one of my few staple recipes. Thank you!!
Nevermind ignore my previous comment. I didn’t see that it said “Uncooked” pasta in the video (the white text got a little covered up by the colors)
The recipe looks delicious, and I can’t wait to try it. I need to point out though, that this isn’t exactly one pot because you’re adding cooked pasta, which requires another pot (and maybe even a collander)
Do you have any suggestions for how to tweak it so that it becomes only one pot?
My hubby loves it… thanks for the receipt… instead of zucchini.. I replaced it with broccoli …. yummm
Amazing! So creamy and delicious. I was after for a a quick and healthy dinner for our family and this nailed it.
This recipe is a go-to for our family! I do add about a cup and half of broth to cook the noodles more easily.
This recipe is so easy. I sautéed Gardein chick’n strips, chopped them up and added them at the end with the cherry tomatoes for some added protein. Topped it with vegan Parmesan cheese and the final product is delicious! Will definitely make it again, thanks for the recipe!
Just made this in my instant pot for 5 minutes with whole wheat torino (it’s what I had in the pantry) very yummy. Added black and white pepper too
Delicious. I think it could be even better with black olives and sliced mushrooms
Thanks for the recipe. I like this recipe so much.
Great! Surprisingly creamy. Added some extra curry paste and spices
Very delicious and easy to make! Is the nutrition for one serving?
This was delicious!
Do you think I can use a long pasta such as linguine or fettuccine with this recipe?
Like so many others I doubted how good this might be. Pleasantly surprised with the result. I used Massaman Curry Paste for a softer effect on the palate.
Like so many others? It really was just you
Hahaha
We just made this last night and it was amazing! Thanks for the great recipe! I also used Banza chickpea shells. Will definitely make this again! :)
