Vegan Baked Spaghetti is easy to make and has been a family favorite for years!

This pasta casserole is perfect for weeknight dinners, Game Days, and potlucks.

I like to serve this dish with Rosemary Parmesan Focaccia Bread and a simple side salad to round out the meal.

Ingredients, Tips, and Substitutions

  • spaghetti
  • olive oil
  • vegan ground beef – Can be omitted; no big deal.
  • yellow onion
  • garlic – Fresh is best but 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder will work in a pinch.
  • Italian seasoning – You can also use equal portions of dried oregano, basil, and thyme.
  • petite diced tomatoes – Nothing wrong with chunkier diced tomatoes; petite is just my personal preference for this recipe. You do you.
  • spaghetti sauce – Store bought sauce is nice for convenience but if you don’t have it on hand, Homemade Marinara Sauce is easy to whip up, with simple ingredients, in just a few minutes.
  • vegan mozzarella cheese – Sometimes I mix it up and swap cheddar cheese for the mozzarella. Both are good.
  • vegan Parmesan cheese

How to Make Vegan Baked Spaghetti

Cook the pasta. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cook the spaghetti according to package directions to just under al dente. Drain the pasta then return it to the cooking pot and set aside.

Brown the vegan meat. Into a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, crumble the vegan ground beef into the pan. Use a spatula to break up any clumps.

Add the aromatics. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently until meat is browned. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning then continue cooking for an additional 1 minute.

Stir in tomatoes and sauce. Add the diced tomatoes and spaghetti sauce, stirring to incorporate. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Toss with cooked pasta. Pour the sauce mixture into the pot with the cooked spaghetti. Toss to coat all of the noodles with sauce.
