This is just a good, simple, fresh sauce to serve over pasta (we like whole-wheat angel hair). I think I got this from Eating Well, but I'm not sure. **Note: The original recipe did not call for the tomato sauce, but after making it, DH and I both felt it needed the sauce to coat the pasta, as the veggies alone were just chunky with no sauciness. The veggies give it a great flavor. Ingredients:
1/4 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced |
1 cup finely chopped onion |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce |
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered |
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives |
1/2 teaspoon parsley |
fresh basil (to garnish) |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook mushrooms, onions, and garlic in oil over medium-high heat until tender.
2. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, parsley, salt and pepper.
3. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Stir in artichokes and olives.
5. Cook just until thoroughly heated. Serve over spaghetti noodles or angel hair.
