Easy Lasagna, meatless, can add meat if desired

Ingredients

• 8 ounces whole-wheat rotini, or fusilli
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves cloves garlic, sliced
• 8 ounces sliced white mushrooms, (about 3 1/2 cups)
• 3/4 C part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms release their liquid, 4 to 6 minutes.
Add tomatoes,and crushed red pepper (if using). Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring once halfway through about 4 minutes.
Toss the sauce with the pasta and divide among 4 bowls.
