Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the mezze maniche and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushroom Ragu

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Mushrooms

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Then add the mixed mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Add the canned crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked mezze maniche to the skillet with the mushroom ragu. Toss to combine and heat through.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Topping

    In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. Toast in a dry skillet until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the mushroom bolognese and top with the toasted breadcrumb mixture and a drizzle of planter box pesto. Enjoy!
