Ingredients
  

Vegetables
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 2 medium carrots sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper diced
Pasta and Seasonings
  • 1/2 lb rotini not cooked
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
Liquids and Optional
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 24 oz pasta sauce
  • 4 oz mozzarella shredded (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Large pot

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Mince the garlic, dice the onion, and slice the carrots. Add the garlic, onion, and carrots to a large pot with the olive oil. Sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent.
  2. While the vegetables are sautéing, slice the mushrooms. Once sliced, add them to the pot with the other vegetables and continue sautéing.
  3. While the rest of the vegetables are sautéing, dice the zucchini and bell pepper.
  4. Once the bell pepper and zucchini are diced, add them to the pot along with the rotini, basil, oregano, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine. It's okay if the broth doesn't fully submerge the pasta.
  5. Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and allow the broth to come up to a boil.
  6. Once the broth reaches a full boil, give the pasta a quick stir, replace the lid, then turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the pasta simmer over medium-low, stirring occasionally and always replacing the lid, for about 10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  7. Once the pasta is tender, add the pasta sauce to the pot and stir to combine. Top with the shredded cheese then place the lid back on the pot. Let the pasta heat for a few minutes, or just until the cheese is melted. Serve hot!
