Boil spaghetti in a separate pot while the vegetables cook down.

Add drained walnuts to the food processor to make walnut meat, pulsing about seven times.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan and brown the walnut meat for 4-5 minutes on medium heat, stirring to prevent burning.

Add onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt to the walnut meat while cooking.

Combine walnut meat with the cooked vegetables and stir to integrate.

Add 2 cans of tomato sauce to the mixture.

Season with sea salt, oregano, and a little agave to sweeten the sauce.
