Today's recipe is for all of you who want to get a meal on the table in 30 minutes of less. I'm guessing that might be everyone.

For me pasta is comfort food, easy food  and I have almost every variety in my pantry, from whole grain to gluten-free.

After a busy day there is nothing better than sitting down with a big plate of yummy paste that took less than 30 minute to make. There are only a handful of ingredients and it's not loaded with pasta sauce but full of flavor and of course you can customize the ingredients for you and your family. By the way it makes a great lunch the second day.

Capellini pronounced kapel'li ni, is slightly thicker than angel hair pasta, which is Capelli d'angelo.  One of my favorite brands is Delallo because they have a large variety of pastas.

The main ingredients in this pasta are mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes and kale, this is where you can customize and exclude or include ingredients that your family enjoys. Side-x-Side-Pasta

Who said getting a tasty dinner on the table had to be tasking. Just grab a box of your favorite pasta and throw together some of your families favorite veggies and before you know it dinner is on the table.

If you are a pesco vegetarian, one who eats poultry and fish, it can easily be added to this dish.  Garnish with parmesan or vegan parmesan.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz. capellini dried pasta
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 8oz. package of whole crimini mushrooms,sliced (for faster prep you can purchase them sliced, I prefer to slice my own)
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 ¼ cup vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup tomato paste
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 3 ½ to 4 cups chopped kale (you can use spinach)
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
  2. While pasta is cooking chop the onions, mince the garlic, clean and slice the mushrooms, clean and chop kale if needed, I purchased pre cut kale.
  3. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until onions are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms and Italian seasoning to skillet and continue to saute about 1 minute longer.
  4. Add one cup of the vegetable stock and tomato paste to skillet, whisk to combine, add in the sun-dried tomatoes and kale, reduce heat and simmer 3 to 5 minutes. Kale should be soft and wilted. Add in the remaining vegetable stock.
  5. Carefully drain pasta and add to the skillet, toss to coat.

  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Looks like a tasty and satisfying meal!

    Celeste, pasta for us is a meal we have often. With our varied diets, gluten-free and vegetarian, pasta is our saving grace. We have gluten free pasta and toss it with all types of veggies, herbs, beans. For those who eat meat we add it at the end. It is a great filling meal with tons of flavor. I really need to grab some kale next time I'm at the store, you have so many recipes that look so delicious and kale plays a starring role. We often use spinach but I really would like to try the kale. You've inspired me.

      We add the chicken at the end at my house, my daughter is a big chicken eater. That way everyone is happy.
