Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the spaghetti. Cook according to package instructions for al dente texture, then drain and set aside.
While the spaghetti is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Mix in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, red chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toss the cooked spaghetti with the tomato sauce and vegetables until evenly coated.
Divide the spaghetti onto plates or bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
