Every weekend my elder kid helps me in cooking & I have to choose recipe of his choice. Both of my kids love pasta but they somehow don’t like cheese in it, so I make my pasta recipe without cheese. I make the pasta sauce vegan by using tomatoes and lots of juicy salad vegetables in it & tastes really good. Most of the times in restaurants pasta recipes are with cheese so I have to make this vegan pasta at home only. I got introduced with spaghetti when I had Sphagetti pasta salad at my friend’s house it was a nice cold spaghetti salad with lots of vegetables in it. I thought of making it in vegan style with some Italian herbs which are easily available in India.

This is my step by step recipe of vegan Spaghetti pasta with lots of vegetables. Do share your queries and suggestion & how you make your vegan /veg pasta .
