Instructions: In a large saucepan, cook the spaghetti in boiling water, for 7 to 8 minutes or until al dente.

Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet, saute the onion in the olive oil for 2 minutes to soften. Add the green pepper and garlic and saute an additional 3 minutes. Add the dried basil and oregano and saute the mixture an additional 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp tender.

Add the crushed tomatoes, black olives, parsley, capers, crushed red pepper flakes, and season to taste with salt and pepper, and cook an additional 2 minutes to blend the flavors.

When the spaghetti is al dente, drain it in a colander, add it to the simmering sauce, and toss well to combine. Transfer to a platter or bowl for service. Garnish individual servings with a little vegan soy parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast flakes, if desired.
