Mushroom Arrabbiata Pasta
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 dried Italian mixed herbs seasoning
- Ā½ cup mozzarella cheese (or cheese of your choice)
Instructions
- 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 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.
