Quick and Easy Creamy Tomato Mushroom Pasta

Serves: 3
Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 servings of pasta (I used fusili)

  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 small sweet onion, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 8-oz sliced cremini mushrooms (2-3 cups sliced)

  • 1-1.5 cups canned diced tomatoes, to taste

  • 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

  • 1/4-1/3 cup nutritional yeast, to taste

  • 1.5 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme

  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt, or to taste

Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in pasta and cook until al dente, about seven to 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil for about five minutes, or until translucent.

  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and diced tomato and cook for another eight to 10 minutes or so over medium-high heat, until some of the water cooks off.

  4. Stir in the fresh basil, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes. Add salt to taste. Simmer for another five minutes or so and adjust seasonings to taste if desired.

  5. Drain pasta and add back into the pot. Stir in the pasta sauce, heat, and serve immediately
