Description

This vegan one pot spaghetti for one is the ultimate cozy dinner made simple — fast, flavorful, and ready in just 20 minutes with no mess and no leftovers.


Ingredients

3–4 oz dry spaghetti (broken in half)

1 tsp olive oil (optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp chopped onion

1/2 cup crushed canned tomatoes

1 cup vegetable broth (or water + pinch of salt)

1/2 tsp dried basil or Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: splash of unsweetened plant milk, nutritional yeast, chili flakes


Instructions

1. Heat oil (or broth for oil-free) in a small pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Sauté until fragrant.

2. Pour in crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in dried herbs and bring to a gentle boil.

3. Add the spaghetti, pressing it down into the liquid. Reduce heat, cover loosely, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Check pasta for doneness and sauce thickness. Add more broth if needed.

5. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and optional chili flakes.

6. For added creaminess, stir in a splash of plant milk or sprinkle with nutritional yeast.

7. Serve hot, straight from the pot — no straining, no mess.


Notes

  • Break pasta in half for easier stirring.
  • Add quick-cooking veggies like spinach or mushrooms in the last 2 minutes.
  • To make it creamy, stir in oat milk or vegan pesto before serving.
