Quick & Easy Vegan Pasta Ingredients
- Pantry Spices: salt, pepper, parsley
- Key Elements: pasta noodles, chopped tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, a can of sliced black olives (fresh spinach would also be great in this dish if you had some on hand as well)
- The Other Stuff: olive oil, minced garlic, nutritional yeast
How to Prep
- Cook the pasta: everyone has lots of theories on the best way to cook pasta. We always use our largest pot and fill it with water while leaving lots of extra space for the noodles to grow. A dash of salt and few drops of olive oil are always in the pot as the water boils. Once the noodles are done, drain them and set them to the side.
- Chop the tomatoes
- Slice the mushrooms
- Open your can of olives
Finish Cooking!
- In a large saucepan, heat up the olive oil over medium heat.
- Once warm, add in the minced garlic and other spices. Stirring until fragrant and slightly browned.
- Add mushrooms and cook until browned and softer.
- Add in the tomatoes
- Once tomatoes have softened, add in olives.
- Add in desired amount of noodles to pan.
- Cook until warm.
- Top with parsley and nutritional yeast (a yummy alternative to parmesan cheese).
