    How To Make Vegan Spaghetti Sauce – Easy Vegan Spaghetti Recipe 

    The recipe for these vegan spaghetti couldn’t be much easier. It’s one of my all-time favorite weeknight meals and it’s always a huge hit with everyone.

    STEP 2: While the pasta is cooking, heat some oil in a large pan and sauté the chopped onion for about 3 minutes or until it becomes translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

    Vegan Spaghetti – Recipe Notes: 

    • I usually use whole wheat spaghetti or brown rice spaghetti for this recipe. For a gluten-free version, I recommend brown rice spaghetti or chickpea spaghetti. 
    • The recipe calls for canned chickpeas. But you could also use home-cooked chickpeas (I usually cook them in my Instant Pot). One 15-ounce can of chickpeas equals a ¾ cup dried chickpeas.
    • If you want to make the vegan spaghetti sauce a bit more spicy, increase the amount of red pepper flakes. If you’re cooking for young kids, leave them out completely. 
    • For a lighter version, you could also use zoodles (zucchini noodles) instead of regular pasta.
