A generous handful of fragrant, freshly chopped basil is stirred in, infusing the dish with its characteristic peppery-sweet aroma and taste.

It's a versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking.

Feel free to add other vegetables, such as broccoli florets, cherry tomatoes, or asparagus spears. You can also adjust the seasoning to your preference, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat or a squeeze of lemon juice for a brighter flavor. Whether you're a seasoned vegan or simply looking for a healthy and delicious meal, this vegetable spaghetti is sure to become a new favorite.
