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 Sundried 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 Sundried 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.
