One evening, I realised I did not have much by way of ingredients in the fridge, except for some fresh mushrooms, so I whipped up a quick and easy mushroom pasta that I believe would make a good vegetarian pasta dish too. Here is my recipe for a Quick and Easy Mushroom Pasta.
You Need:
- 250g Fresh Mushrooms sliced
- 500g Pasta
- 1 fresh tomato diced
- Tomato puree to taste (optional)
- Garlic chopped
- Dried mixed herbs and paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serves approx 2-3 persons
How to:
- Cook pasta according to directions on packet.
- Heat up some olive oil in a pan and start frying the garlic until it is fragrant. Do not let it brown or burn.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and continue frying. As the mushroom is cooking it will release some water so do not add water immediately.
- When the mushroom has softened slightly, add the diced tomato. If you prefer a stronger tomato taste, add some tomato puree.
- By now there should be some liquid in the pan. You are not making a sauce so you don’t need too much liquid. Just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Add the mixed herbs and a pinch of paprika powder and salt and pepper to taste.
- Drain the pasta and add to the mixture. Toss the pasta through the sauce and serve.
See, I told you it was quick and easy! It is good for those days when you don’t feel like having a meat option or if you have vegetarian friends over. Let me know how you like it!
