A simple yet flavorful mushroom red sauce pasta made easily at home!

Ingredients

  • For Cooking Pasta
  • 4 cups water

  • 2 tsp salt

  • 2 cups fusilli durum wheat pasta (can also use penne, rotini, or macaroni pasta)

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

  • For Arrabbiata Sauce
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil

  • 5-6 garlic cloves, finely chopped

  • 2 medium-size onions, finely chopped

  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 5-6 medium-size tomatoes

  • 200 g mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 Tbsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Directions

  • Place a large pot filled with water on medium heat. Add salt, stir and bring it to a boil. Then add the pasta and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the pasta is al dente i.e., tender to the bite but not completely mushy and not raw. Once the pasta is done, use a colander to strain, then wash it under cold water. Add the cooked pasta to a plate, drizzle some olive oil, mix and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and saute for 1-2 minutes. Then add ground black pepper and salt, stir and cook for 5 minutes over low heat (careful not to burn the garlic and onions).
  • Meanwhile, place a pot filled with water over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Make a criss-cross slit on the bottom of the tomatoes and add them to the boiling water. Cook them for 5 minutes, remove and immediately add them to iced water. Finally, peel off the skin, finely chop them, and set them aside.
  • Now add sliced mushrooms to the frying pan along with Italian seasoning. Mix everything well, cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan, stir and let them cook for 5 minutes. Now add the pasta into the simmering sauce, toss well, taste, and add salt or seasoning, if needed.
  • Finally, turn off the heat, add the cheese, and serve hot.
