If you're looking for tasty ways to use plant-based sausage rolls, today I'm sharing this vegetable spaghetti recipe that comes together in just 30 minutes. I combine brown rice pasta with fresh zucchini noodles and a quick sauté of green beans, eggplant, and carrots. It's a wonderful, simple way to switch up your usual pasta night and make a satisfying meal for one with no fuss at all.

The tofu and seaweed vegetable roll adds so much savory depth to the dish, beautifully complemented by fresh garlic and a splash of low-sodium soy sauce. To get the best texture, I make sure not to overcook the zucchini noodles so they stay slightly crisp when tossed with the pasta. Taste before adding extra soy sauce, as the plant-based sausage is already well seasoned.

To mix up your pasta meals, I highly recommend my Rice Noodles with Plant-Based Sausage and Broccoli and this Roasted Vegetable Pasta.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the plant-based sausage with plain tofu?

Yes! You can use firm tofu that has been pressed well and cut into small cubes. Brown it with the garlic before tossing it with the pasta and vegetables; the flavor will be a bit different, but it pairs wonderfully with the soy sauce.

How should I store leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within 2 days. Pop them in the fridge within 2 hours of cooking, and only reheat the portion you plan to eat.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Not automatically: even if you use brown rice spaghetti, you need to check the labels on the pasta, the plant-based sausage roll, and the soy sauce. To make it strictly gluten-free, use certified gluten-free products and swap regular soy sauce for gluten-free tamari.
