Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g spaghetti
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 pcs garlic cloves, minced
- 4 pcs ripe tomatoes, diced
- 200 g button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 pcs red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 pcs yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 0.5 tsp crushed red chili flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, and sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and the tomatoes begin to break down.
Season the vegetable mixture with dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine the spices.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta in the vegetable mixture.
If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful spaghetti!
