- 8 ounces dry spaghetti pasta
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- 1 red bell pepper chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 1 medium carrot diced
- 6 cremini mushrooms chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets chopped into bite-size pieces
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- grated or shredded Parmesan cheese and/or fresh basil optional, for serving
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package directions for al dente. Drain the pasta (do not rinse).
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion, bell peppers, carrot, mushrooms and broccoli and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are crisp-tender. (Turn the heat down to medium if the pan gets too hot.)
Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Then stir in the crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, dried oregano, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, until vegetables are tender.
Stir the drained pasta and remaining tablespoon of olive oil into the sauce. Serve with Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, if desired.
- Pasta: You can substitute short pasta shapes, such as penne or rotini, for the spaghetti.
- Vegetables: Feel free to swap in your favorite veggies or whatever you have to use up in your produce drawer.
