Kitchen tonight ! (time 30 min)
a
my perfect mushroom-tomato pasta !
a

a
1/2 kilo {1 pound} penne pasta
a
a 3 tablespoons extra version olive oil
a
a 3 diced cloves garlic
a
a 2 med size onions - diced
a
a 1/2 teaspoon grounded black pepper , {fresh if possible}
a
a 1/3 cup dry red wine
a
a 3/4 cup chopped herbs {parsley and oregano }
a
almost a cup sliced basil leaves
a
can crushed tomatoes
a
a 8 ounce mushrooms sliced
a
around 1/2 cup grated parmesan
a
Start with cooking the Penne according the pack direction ,
its usually preparing a pot with boiling water, i always like to add a little
bit of salt and oil .. 8 minutes cooking not
too cooked and not under cooked , make sure they don't stick together by gently
stirring maybe twice during the cooking .
a
While the pasta is cooking , heat the oil in a large pan , you
start by adding the sliced onions, with the pepper and salt {half the amount
above} , and cook , Cover your pan till the onions are softened , then
after around 7 min we add the Garlic and mushrooms, cover ... and cook for
another 5 min , then you add the dry red wine , and cook for another few min ,
around 3 , with the pan uncovered.
a
Put the chopped herbs such as parsley and oregano and season
with the rest of your pepper and salt and cook for another 4 min ,at the end we
add the tomatoes { we can also use fresh tomatoes by boiling them and then
removing the outer layer, and crushing them it will add a nice taste} , then we
stir in the basil ....
a
Now serving this pasta : transfer the pasta to plates with
spooning little bit of souse over the top and off course sprinkle some
cheese ! a
I used to put it in the over with a cheese all over till it
melts, but for lowering the amount of Calories, its also perfect doing the
above. a
Ps- You can add anything you like to this basic penne
pasta, you can also remove the mushrooms if you are not a fan of it . ideas for
additional yummy things can be little slices of chicken breasts , or little
bit of black olives, you can also use tofu .
a
Bon appetite guys !
