Equipment

  • 1 Large Sauté Pan with Cover

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Ounces Gluten-Free Pasta I love the brown rice pasta from Jovial.
  • 23.5 Ounces Tomato Sauce I used Primal Kitchen dairy-free Vodka Sauce, but any tomato sauce will work!
  • 1 Cup Pasta Water
  • 8 Ounces Baby Bella Mushrooms, Sliced Thinly
  • 1 Green Pepper, Sliced Thinly
  • 1 Medium Sized Red Onion, Sliced Thinly
  • 2-4 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Add the olive oil, peppers, mushrooms, red onions, minced garlic, salt and pepper into a large skillet. Cook on medium heat with the cover on stirring occasionally.
  • When the vegetables are tender, pour in the tomato sauce. Cover and let simmer on low for about 8-10 minutes.
  • Cook gluten-free pasta according to box instructions.
  • Finally, stir in the gluten-free pasta and serve hot!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • The longer you let the sauce simmer with the vegetables, the more flavorful it will be!
  • Chop fresh parsley or fresh basil to garnish each dish.
  • To avoid mushy pasta, boil until it's al dente! (I never boil for as long as the package says to.)
  • To make this a one-pot meal, add the sauce and uncooked pasta with about 2 cups of water or broth into the pan with cooked vegetables. Give it a good stir, cover and let simmer until pasta is al dente.

How to store leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To re-heat, add back into a small saucepan over medium heat with a cover. You can also microwave leftovers!
