You might also like vegan spaghetti with meatballs, traditional vegan lasagna, and vegan pasta puttanesca. I began to try perfecting this recipe for an Instant Pot Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce as soon as I got my Instant Pot, and I have been so pleasantly surprised by the results, I’ve never turned back. Now, this is the only way spaghetti with marinara gets cooked in our home. And since it’s Jay’s number one favorite food, that is pretty much all the time. I have a favorite marinara sauce but I do make this one from scratch because I add a meat substitute to it. There are just five ingredients in the sauce, and to make this a true one-pot meal, I added some protein in the form of meaty vegan crumbles. You can also use TVP or soy granules. If you don’t want to use the meat substitute, you can skip it. What I love about the recipe is that I can prep as I go. Not that there is a whole lot to prep. I just need to chop some garlic, open a can of San Marzano tomatoes, and a pack of crumbles. That really doesn’t need to take more than five minutes, does it?

What I also love is how much deliciousness I get out of these few ingredients. When the marinara and spaghetti cook together, the sauce permeates the pasta, making it even tastier. This recipe cooks up the pasta perfectly al dente, so don’t worry about serving – or eating – mushy pasta. This recipe is very kid-friendly, and a great addition to your little one’s – or not-so-little one’s – lunch box. Check this post for this and other easy vegan lunch box ideas.
