Vegetarian Deliciousness On the Fly

So I just pulled this recipe out of my ass when I realized I had tomatoes and mushrooms in my fridge that were about to lose their prime freshness:

  • Fry tsp minced garlic and green onions in canola oil at medium heat, cook until garlic is golden
  • Add one chopped tomato and 1 tsp chopped fresh basil, continue cooking until tomatoes break down
  • Add one package sliced mushrooms (I used cremini)
  • Add 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • Add 1 tsp veggie stock powder with 750 ml water
  • Simmer on low heat until mushrooms are tender (8-10 minutes)
  • Add 1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with tiny bit of cold water)
  • Add al dente pasta (I used about 3 cups uncooked aka quite a lot)
  • Toss with a sprinkle of dried oregano
  • NOM WHILE HOT!

Flavourful as fuck with a lot less salt/sugar than bottled pasta sauce. I already love mushrooms as is, but I wish someone had told me earlier that fresh basil is basically HERBED MAGIC. :D
