One Pot Penne Pasta with Mushrooms and Sausage is a hearty and delicious lunch or dinner. Easy vegan recipe, ready in 30 minutes!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or 1/4 cup water (for water saute)
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 – 3 vegan sausages, sliced (Tofurky or Field Roast)
  • 1 lb. mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 can (28 oz.) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds, optional
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or water (or combo)
  • 1 1b. penne pasta (I used whole grain)
  • 1/4 – 1/3 cup chopped parsley
  • mineral salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

Saute: In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat, add onion and saute for 4 – 5 minutes. Add garlic and sausage, cook another 1 minute, stirring occasionally.

Cook: Add the mushrooms, tomatoes, basil, oregano, optional fennel, broth/water, pasta, and a good pinch of salt & twist of fresh cracked pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, give a good stir, cover, reduce heat to low and let simmer at a constant gentle rolling boil for 15 minutes, stir occasionally. Remove from heat, stir in a little parsley and give a good stir.

Serve with a little extra parsley over top and a light dusting of Almond Parmesan. Pair it with a slice of your favorite crusty bread. We love this homemade Artisan Bread.

 

Serves 6 – 8

Store: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for 5 – 6 days.

Notes

If you have Italian seasoning on hand, feel free to use 2 teaspoons in place of the spices listed above.

This makes a large portion, cut the recipe in half if you prefer.

To make this recipe cook even faster, instead of cooking the onion, sausage and garlic first, simply place all the ingredients in the pot, minus the parsley, bring it all to a boil and continue on with the recipe as stated. It will cut at least 7 minutes off the cooking time.
