One Pot Pasta is one of the best inventions ever! If you are such a pasta lover like I am, you are going to love this simple vegan pasta recipe. All you need to do is to place all ingredients in a pot and let it simmer for about 12 minutes until your spaghetti is al dente.

Quick Vegan Pasta Dish

For most pasta recipes you have to cook the pasta in one pot of boiling water, and the sauce in an extra skillet. That’s great and makes an outstanding pasta. But sometimes we are just short in time and want to enjoy a decent homecooked meal with little effort, right?

Therefore this vegan pasta recipe is the perfect one for you. You don’t need to make sure that the pasta and sauce are ready at the same time because you cook it together. Plus, there is only one pot to clean.

The pasta needs a little longer to cook because there is only as much water as the pasta can soak up (no draining required). I usually use spaghetti with a regular cooking time of 9 minutes, which need approx. 12 minutes with this recipe.

  1. Thank you for these nice option of cooking spaghetti. Tomato pasta is one of the dishes which I cook nearly every week. I’ve always cooked the the sauce in a separate pot. I really have to try it, with all ingredients in one pot. ๐Ÿ™‚
