Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the whole-wheat pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until they're browned.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until it's fragrant.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and zucchini to the skillet.
- Stir well and cook for about 5 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften.
- Pour in the pasta sauce and water, stirring to combine.
- Add the lemon juice, black pepper, and salt.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to ensure it's evenly coated with the sauce and vegetables.
- Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the pasta to absorb some of the sauce flavors.
- Remove from heat and transfer the pasta to serving plates.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley and a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious and healthy Sun-dried Tomato and Mushroom Whole-Wheat Pasta!
Tips:
- Cook the whole-wheat pasta according to the package instructions to ensure it reaches al dente texture. Overcooking can cause the pasta to become mushy.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider using the oil from the sundried tomatoes instead of vegetable oil for sautéing the vegetables.
- Feel free to add other fresh vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to the mix for more nutrient variety and added color.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, you can add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of heavy cream towards the end of the cooking process.
- Garnish the pasta with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil for an additional layer of flavor.
Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this Sun-dried Tomato and Mushroom Whole-Wheat Pasta. Not only is it easy to prepare, but it also offers a wholesome and delicious meal option that everyone will love. Serve it hot and relish the nutritious goodness in every bite.
