Easy as spaghetti! Yes I’m saying that literally, this is the easiest spag bowl you’re going to make and if not the most delicious vegan spaghetti you’ll be consuming! I was always one for angel hair spaghetti, you know angel hair? Those super fine strands of spaghetti that goes down so easy? Hey, I’ll continue to love all types of spaghetti but not just yet because there is thick spaghetti to be had! I’m starting to wonder how long i can drag a paragraph out that is introducing a new gluten free spaghetti recipe…?
We are coming in to the final few weeks of winter here in Australia and although spaghetti is a dish you can enjoy all year round, let’s be honest, there is nothing better than sitting down to a hot, heartwarming, delicious and flavourful bowl of loaded vegetable spaghetti after a long day is there? Especially when it’s trickling with rain outside and you’re all cosy in your loungewear, home socks and your fluffy slippers. Now this is starting to sound more like a Peter Alexander commercial than a spaghetti recipe. So far we have established that this is in fact a gluten free and vegan spaghetti recipe and a fine one at that! As soon as i had the opportunity to twirl my fork straight into this spaghetti bowl i did and it was a delight. Sensational, incredible, delicious and yummy all came to mind. What’s amazing is that this spaghetti is completely gluten free! I used Barilla’s Gluten Free Spaghetti and I’m telling you, it tastes exactly like regular wheat pasta, if not better! Along with their Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce, this gluten free spaghetti dish is completely and utterly amazing! I’m not going to lie and say i didn’t have plenty of mouthfuls just after i photographed the deliciousness.

Yes! Pasta is just perfect for these last few weeks of winter. It’s starting to warm up here in Brisbane, but I’ll be holding onto my cozy nights with PJs and pasta for as long as I can! I haven’t tried the Barilla GF pasta yet, I usually use San Remo, but I’ll be sure to grab a box of Barilla next time I see it! This is definitely going on the pasta night rotation in our house! Delicious!
Hi Amy! I absolutely agree, knowing that you’re coming home to a big bowl of delicious healthy pasta is awesome isn’t it?! Happy to hear you’re beginning to feel some warmth, remember the cold, especially summer is Brisbane. Defiantly give Barilla a go. This was my first time trying it as well. I hadn’t had thick spaghetti in a long time and i was so happy with the texture, flavour and cook time, especially it being gluten free. Enjoy this recipe Amy and have a wonderful day! xx
