Vegeterian Tips: If you know you are going to be eating at a certain restaurant on Saturday night, call ahead and ask if they offer any vegetarian entrees. If the answer is no, ask if something can be prepared for your dietary needs. Most likely, the answer will be yes.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- Fresh Tomatoes (about 4 roma) diced
- Sun Dried Tomatoes (SDT) (about 12) soaked in water for at least an hour (keep the liquid) then sliver
- garlic (around 6 cloves) minced/crushed
- Hot Pepper (flakes or fresh – to taste)
- Mushrooms, button (at least a 1/2 cup sliced)
- bazil (preferably fresh or fresh/frozen)
- Sicilian Oil cured olives
- Pasta (1 lb)
Directions:
Start this when you start the water for the pasta.
Saute garlic and hot pepper in olive oil (over low heat).
continue until water boils for pasta. I like the garlic to get mushy
not crunchy. 🙂
Add mushrooms. Add Sun Dried tomatoes, basil and some of SDT the
liquid. Add Fresh Tomatoes. If you like add remainder of SDT liquid.
Just before tossing with Pasta add olives.
Toss with pasta.
Variations:
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- Include sweet red or yellow pepper
- for super rich treat use both feta and above
Directions:
*If using olives – cook them with the garlic, olive oil, and
pepper (you kind of want the garlic and olives to almost
melt. I like to finely chop the olives.
How ever you make this treat… Leftovers make a wonderful
fritata.
This is one of my variations on Pasta Putanesca (whore”s pasta).
