Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti (gluten-free if preferred)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 8 oz Vegan sausage
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 24 oz Marinara sauce
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.25 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the vegan sausage into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Pour in the marinara sauce and stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Return the vegan sausage to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sauce. Cook for another 3 minutes, until heated through.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the sauce and sausage mixture, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Enjoy your delicious vegan spaghetti with sausage!
