400 grams maniche rigate (or other pasta of your choice)


1200 grams of diced tomatoes (from a can)


Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Bring a large pan of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Cook the pasta for 15 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.


2. Slice the mushrooms. Peel and chop the onions. Peel and chop the garlic.


3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and onions and sauté until soft and golden brown. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for another minute, until the garlic is fragrant.
