This dish of baked spaghetti gratin with vegan cheese is a different and rich way to serve baked pasta when you can’t think of another way to make it. I have used this type of cheese so that the dish is vegan but you can opt for another if you like it better. It is very easy to do: first we will prepare a good stir-fry of vegetables, we will mix it with the spaghetti and we will gratin the final dish in the oven. You can use other types of pasta, such as macaroni, shells, bows, noodles, etc. If you don’t know how to make spaghetti in the oven, follow the step by step that I show you below and you will see how easy it is.
