Pasta sauce mushrooms recipe

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for a delicious pasta sauce with mushrooms:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced (you can use any variety you like)
• 1 can (14 ounces/400g) crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Once the mushrooms are browned, pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine.
5. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to incorporate the seasonings into the sauce.
6. Allow the sauce to simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to let the flavors meld together and the sauce thicken slightly.
7. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
8. While the sauce is simmering, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
9. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Toss the pasta gently in the sauce until it’s well coated.
10. Serve the pasta topped with freshly chopped basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
