It’s a very yummy recipe with a base of fettuccine and zucchini noodles to add more vegetables to it. A trick which you can also use for spaghetti dishes. Just replace some of the spaghetti or fettuccine by thin zucchini strips, or just add them on top of the amount of pasta you would use. It can be a very easy way to sneak more vegetables in to your dish.
Ingredients:
- 150-200g whole grain fettuccine pasta
- 2 tsp. veggie stock powder
- 1/2 tbsp. oil rapeseed or olive
- 1 red onion
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 175g king oyster mushrooms or other mushrooms
- 1,5 tsp. of each dried basil, oregano, marjoram
- 1/2 tsp. all spice
- 2/3 tsp. black pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1,5-2 tbsp. vegan pesto rosso or blended soaked dried tomatoes
- 2 hands full of cherry tomatoes
- Optional sprouts
- Optional Varmesan
Directions:
- Bring a pot of water with the stock powder to a boil and add the fettuccine to it. I used a small pot and just enough water to cover the fettuccine. If you notice that it’s not enough water, just add a little more.
- Meanwhile add the oil to a pan, cut the onion and garlic and add also to the pan, turn the heat on medium high and sauté.
- Clean and cut the mushrooms in slices and add to the onions as soon as they become soft. Then also add the herbs and spices and stir fry it.
- Meanwhile slice a zucchini in thin strips. I used a vegetable peeler for this.
- When the mushrooms are sauteed a little, ad some cooking broth from the fettuccine (as soon as those become al dente) and cook until it evaporates and thickens. Repeat this multiple times. Put a lid on the pot with fettuccine to prevent them from drying out, also mix them up some times.
- At the end when there is just a little cooking liquid in the pot with fettuccine left, put the zucchini strips on top and cover with the lid again to steam them for a few minutes.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan with mushrooms, also add the rest of the cooking liquid from the fettuccine.
- Add the pesto to the pot with fettuccine and zucchini and mix well to cover the fettuccine and zucchini with the pesto.
- To serve, put the fettuccine and zucchini on the plate first, cover with the mushroom sauce and sprinkle with varmesan and sprouts if you like. Enjoy!
