Everyone loves a quick and easy pasta recipe. This one is definitely my go-to when I get home and want to eat a nutritious but quick home-cooked meal. As always, the ingredients are simple and easily accessible. I used buckwheat spirals to make this pasta dish but you can use any pasta that you like. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
Tuscan-Style Zucchini and Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients
- 250 grams Pasta I used buckwheat spirals
- 3 Tbsp Olive oil
- 2 large Zucchini cut into small squares
- 2 cups White button mushroom finely diced
- 2 cups Silver beet finely chopped
- ¼ cup Soy sauce
- 4 Tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 2 Tbsp Tuscan seasoning
- 2 Tsp Salt
- Hot sauce optional
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Rinse and strain the pasta, and reserve the cooking water in a bowl. Set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, cut up the zucchini, button mushrooms and silver beet. In a large non-stick frying pan, add the olive oil and turn to medium-high heat. After about a minute, add the zucchini and mushroom and stir.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the silver beet and cook until it has wilted. Add the soy sauce, nutritional yeast, Tuscan seasoning and salt. Stir well.
- Add the pasta to the frying pan and at least 2-3 cups of cooking water. This will make the pasta extra creamy. Serve with a drizzle of hot sauce (this is optional).
