Pasta sauce mushrooms recipe

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for pasta sauce with mushrooms:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms (any variety you like), sliced
• 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
• Fresh basil leaves, torn (for garnish)
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
• Cooked pasta of your choice

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and add the dried oregano and basil. Stir well to combine.
5. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. If you like a thicker sauce, you can simmer it uncovered for a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
6. While the sauce is simmering, cook your pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
7. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
8. Serve the pasta hot, garnished with torn fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
