Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams pasta (e.g., fettuccine or spaghetti)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 250 grams mushrooms (e.g., cremini or button)
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium zucchini
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 100 grams spinach leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 50 grams parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the vegetables: mince the garlic, finely chop the onion, slice the mushrooms, julienne the red bell pepper, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned and have released their moisture.
Stir in the julienned red bell pepper and sliced zucchini. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach leaves to the skillet, stirring until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes.
Season the vegetable mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the vegetables, tossing everything together to combine well and heat through.
Remove from heat and garnished with freshly chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
Serve the pasta hot, with extra parmesan cheese on the side if desired.
