EASY Vegan Spaghetti | No Excuses #2

It's sooo easy to make a simple, inexpensive and filling vegan spaghetti for any day of the week.  The goal of the No Excuses videos is to show you the most basic recipes that take under 30 minutes to make. This spaghetti recipe is perfect for the days when you don't feel like cooking or if you're new to vegan life.

Even though I used Beyond Meat crumbles in this video, you can use sautéed mushrooms or cooked lentils as your ground beef/turkey substitute. 

When I became a vegan, I was really surprised that most of the spaghetti sauce on the grocery store shelves aren't vegan because they usually contain dairy. Boo!

Here's a list of popular brands that are already vegan.

I used about 1/2 cup of onion, 2 garlic cloves & 1/2 teaspoon of oregano to add more flavor to jarred spaghetti sauce.

Most brands of boxed spaghetti are vegan...here's a quick list of popular brands:

  • Lundberg spaghetti
  • Ancient Harvest quinoa spaghetti
  • San Giorgio spaghetti
  • Barilla spaghetti
  • Ronzoni spaghetti

In my experience, the fresh/homemade pastas aren't typically vegan because they usually contain egg.

Be sure to always check your labels when purchasing boxed products. You can also use the Is it Vegan? app or PETA's Accidental Vegan list for assistance.
