Quick Vegetarian Recipe for Tomato and Mushroom Spaghetti. It is very easy to make. It is low in Carbs and Trans-Fat and Vegetarian. For Vegan, omit Cheese
Ok, I am a little late posting this tomato and mushroom spaghetti recipe. I couldn’t bring myself to post it because I didn’t like any of the pictures I took. Wish I could say it was because I am a perfectionist. The sad fact is: it is because I am bad a photography.
Sometimes! Or maybe, the tomato and mushroom spaghetti just didn’t want their good side photographed! They can be such Divas….
The combination of mushrooms, tomatoes and garlic is enough to make your taste buds jump in joy!. The cherry tomatoes have a tangyness to it, the mushrooms have a slight salty taste and garlic has a spice taste to it. Together, they create a jumping taste party and I love how it clears my sinuses……
You know, while I was making this mushroom spaghetti, I was counting the many mistakes I have made in my life. Do you do that often? Cooking is a time for my mind to sit back and take stock of my life. This time, I was focusing on the mistakes in my life.
Next cooking time, I am going to focus on the things that went right in my life.
Frankly, you don’t even need the spaghetti or any pasta in this recipe. You can eat this by itself or add it to your favorite greens as a salad.
But, this time, I am going to use it in whole wheat spaghetti. It is filing and that is what I am looking for.
When the pasta was done, I simply bought together the roasted vegetables with the spaghetti. Done in under 30 minutes. Fresh ground pepper tastes so good on the tomatoes that I ate half of them just as I was pulling them out of the oven.
I thought about adding more veggies to the recipe but then thought against it. While mess up a good thing by adding too many items? And it will take longer to make the recipe.
I served this with a my homemade garlic toast
Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to go and enjoy this delicious tomato and mushroom spaghetti. Feel free to let me know what you think about the recipe.

A few things appeared out of whack when reading this recipe.
5 tablespoons of black pepper? 250 degrees for 12 minutes to roast veggies? My version: Chopped spinach in bottom of bowl will soften with hot tomato-mushroom sauce/noodles. 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper. ALL ingredients get tossed in bowl, then roasted in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Rotisserie chicken added for protein with the cokked noodles.
Where the heck do you see 5 Tbsp of Black Pepper??????????? There are only 2 Tbsp of Freshly ground pepper and that is divided among the different cooking stages. There is also no spinach in my recipe. It seems to me that you have an agenda about meat and you want to get your recipe across. Why don’t you do real work by posting your recipe on your food blogger site! See how much time, effort, work and money it takes to post it. It’s easy to troll hard working bloggers with your stupid take on our recipes. It takes real fortitude to post it on your own site.
What a great meatless pasta dish! Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Thank you, Cindy
I’d eat that. Minus the tomatoes.
Thank you David. Tomato, however, is the best part of the pasta.
