A delicious, weeknight recipe for vegan Spaghetti and Meatballs. An utterly kid-friendly recipe and you can either make your own meatballs, like these air-fryer meatballs, or use store-bought.
You might also like vegan Instant Pot spaghetti with "meaty" marinara, vegan pasta puttanesca and vegan pasta amatriciana.
This Spaghetti and Meatballs recipe I have for you today is an easy one and it includes store-bought meatballs and my favorite vegan marinara recipe. This is a delicious dish, and I've found that it does very well with my eight-year-old whose love for marinara is matched only by his love for meat substitutes. 😉

A delicious, weeknight recipe for vegan Spaghetti and Meatballs. An utterly kid-friendly recipe and you can either make your own meatballs or use storebought.
Ingredients
- 24 vegan meatballs
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound spaghetti (I use thin whole wheat spaghetti, but use the regular if you wish)

Instructions
- Start a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Make sure you salt it liberally. Cook the pasta per package directions until al dente.
- While the pasta water is boiling, start the meatball. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil and add the frozen meatballs to the skillet. Stir and then cover with a lid and let the meatballs heat through, stirring occasionally.
- Add the marinara and let the sauce simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes until thickened. Add the meatballs and stir gently. Turn off heat.
- Serve the marinara with meatballs over cooked spaghetti.

Just tried this recipe out for lunch. It was delicious!! The vegetable balls from Ikea added some extra texture to the tangy tomato sauce. It was a simple and filling meal. I will be making this again!

Your post for today was perfect timing for me as I'm making the 2 1/2 hour (each way) trip to the closest IKEA to me on Monday. I was hesitant to try the meatballs but with your comments, I will. And I'll pair them with your marinara recipe which looks super easy to make. Thanks. I always look forward to your posts.
