These vegan spaghettios are a recreation of your favorite childhood classic. To make this, I simmered rings of anellini pasta in a creamy tomato soup to resemble what comes out of that Chef Boyardee can. Serve and top with vegan parm or nutritional yeast, if you like!
Are SpaghettiOs vegan?
SpaghettiOs are not vegan. The sauce contains contain cheese and milk. Uh oh SpaghettiOs! Luckily, it’s not very hard to veganize. I used rings of pasta called anellini, which are a smaller version of anelli pasta, small, ring-shaped pieces of pasta.
I simmered the cooked anellini in a creamy tomato soup. You can find several brands of vegan boxed and canned versions of it at most supermarkets. Start with adding half the soup, then add more based on how much sauce you prefer.
How to serve these vegan spaghettios
Serve these vegan spaghettios right away. Once refrigerated, the pasta does expand quite a bit, and it changes the taste and texture considerably. If you’d like to prep it beforehand, just keep the pasta and tomato soup separate. When ready to heat, just simmer together and serve.
Making this recipe is super easy and is amazing comfort food
Spaghettios bring back nostalgic feelings from childhood. Maybe you used to eat it on cold days and it just hit the spot. Or maybe it is just something you associate with good memories. Either way, there is no reason this classic can’t be recreated with a few simple, vegan ingredients. Enjoy this dish and any memories it helps bring back!

Emma says
Do you mix the can of soup with water as directed or just add it without making it into a soup?
erin wysocarski says
Hi Emma, you don’t need to add any water. You want the consistency to be thicker than soup. However, if you find you’d like it thinner, you can add a little bit of water until you like the consistency.
