I like to saute fresh onions,peppers of any color, squash and mushrooms with some garlic in EVOO and just toss my pasta with that, and a little Parmesan or Romano if you like.
I also like to do this and add my homemade pesto. Sometimes I use Barilla mushroom alfredo sauce with some steamed red pepper and peas-that's pretty yummy!Any good veg pasta recipes?
Artichoke spinach lasagana
LOOOOVE this dish, it is a fabulous lasagna made with an artichoke and spinach mixture which has been cooked with vegetable broth, onions and garlic. The mixture is layered with lasagna noodles, pasta sauce, mozzarella cheese, and topped with crumbled feta.
Prep Time: 20m
Cook Time: 1h
Ready in: 1h 20m
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients
cooking spray
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can vegetable broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 (14 ounce) can marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 (28 ounce) jar tomato pasta sauce
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (4 ounce) package herb and garlic feta, crumbled
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium-high. Saute onion and garlic for 3 minutes, or until onion is tender-crisp. Stir in broth and rosemary; bring to a boil. Stir in artichoke hearts and spinach; reduce heat, cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in pasta sauce.
Spread 1/4 of the artichoke mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; top with 3 cooked noodles. Sprinkle 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese over noodles. Repeat layers 2 more times, ending with artichoke mixture and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
Bake, covered, for 40 minutes. Uncover, and bake 15 minutes more, or until hot and bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
Try this very easy one:
heat some olive oil and sizzle some chopped garlic and optional chillies. Throw in some ripped basil leaves, throw in a can of plum tomatoes, add salt and pepper to taste.
That simple, the sauce can be made in 45 seconds.
