couple handfuls spinach, kale, or Swiss chard, chopped
optional: sliced mushrooms
dried oregano, marjoram, and/or thyme, plus black pepper
1 lb. pasta – any kind, we like rotini
2-4 TBS nutritional yeast (optional)
couple handfuls shredded cheese – we like pecorino and a little jack or mozzarella for creaminess
Instructions
Cook pasta per package instructions.
Saute onion, carrot, and garlic in a couple TBS of olive oil.
Add the mushrooms if you’re using them, then the zucchini and greens.
Saute until veggies are soft. Pour in the jar of pasta sauce and add dried herbs and pepper to taste, plus the nutritional yeast if using.
Bring to a simmer then reduce heat and cook for 10-15 minutes until everything is nicely melded.
Add cooked pasta to the sauce. Add cheese and stir gently to combine.
Serve with extra cheese/yeast on top, if desired.
Note: You can skip the onion and garlic if your jarred sauce is flavorful enough. And use whatever vegetables are lying around, it doesn’t have to be these exact ones.
