How To Make Vegan Spaghetti Sauce?

This vegan spaghetti sauce is quite easy and quick to prepare. You will need the following ingredients and steps to follow:

Ingredients

2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ red bell pepper, chopped
1 fresh tomato chopped
1 (28 – ounce) can of crushed or diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning ( or 1 teaspoon each of oregano, thyme, basil)
¼ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, cook onion until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add garlic, bell pepper, tomato and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt
Cook for 10 minutes for flavors to meld. Add cilantro and stir.

Serving suggestions:

Serve with Gluten-Free Garlic Knots. Serve over gluten-free spaghetti and other pasta. Garnish with Vegan Parmesan Cheese. Add Vegan Sausage to the sauce. This sauce would be delicious in a lasagna or as a chunky topping for pizza.

Storage Suggestions

It is important to preserve the sauce properly to ensure that it remains fresh for an extended period. Simply store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

It can also be frozen for up to a month. Simply allow it to cool before transferring it to a freezer bag or sealed container and freeze it. You have the option of freezing the entire batch at once or dividing it into separate servings. Let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before you plan to use it, then reheat it in the saucepan or the microwave.

Recipe Note

The spaghetti sauce recipe I’ve shared with you is from one of the versions. However, each time you prepare it, it can be a bit different. Here are some suggestions for customizing your sauce:

Any vegetables, herbs, and spices that you want can easily be added to this sauce.
You may use onion and garlic powder instead of fresh onion and garlic to save time, but I say fresh onion and garlic work better in this recipe.
If you prefer your food to be a little spicier, begin cooking with a generous teaspoon of red pepper flakes. However, your sauce will become ” furious or Arrabbiata ” as a result of this.
