- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 800 grams Crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red chili flakes

Instructions
Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil.
Cook the vegan spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the vegan sausage links into 1/2-inch rounds. Add them to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and mix in the tomato paste, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red chili flakes. Stir to combine.
Add the salt, black pepper, and granulated sugar to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Mix well.
Stir in 1 cup of water and bring the sauce to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Add the cooked vegan sausage back into the sauce and continue simmering for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the sauce or plate the spaghetti and ladle the sauce over the top.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and vegan Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce and Sausage.
