Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.

  3. 3

    Cook Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the mushroom sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Garnish with fresh chopped basil before serving. Enjoy your Mushroom Cacciatore!
