I love a simple pasta dish for dinner. Especially in the spring and summer, when the weather’s warm…it’s nice to fall back on an easy pasta recipe with lots of veggies.

This spicy veggie pasta sauce is full of flavor, but so simple to make.

Fresh garlic, onions, white wine, lots of veggies and red pepper flakes make an amazingly delicious sauce. Make this for dinner soon! It’s an easy and tasty way to get more vegetables in your diet.

Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • garlic
  • onion
  • zucchini
  • mushrooms
  • canned diced tomatoes
  • white wine
  • Italian seasoning
  • salt
  • pepper
  • red pepper flakes
  • pasta

Ingredient Notes

  • You could use any white wine that you have on hand. I used Moscato, which is a sweeter wine and I thought the sweetness was a nice addition to this sauce.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional. If you’re serving this to children, I would leave them off. You can always just have a shaker of red pepper on the table if you like.
  • If you love garlic, feel free to add some extra garlic to this recipe!

Step by Step Instructions

  1. Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms, zucchini, and white wine, and cook until tender.

Gluten Free Pasta

There are many brands of gluten free pasta to try. For this recipe, I used Jovial Brown Rice Penne. You can use any brand or shape of pasta you like!

Some brands of gluten free pasta to check out are Jovial, Ancient Harvest, and Tinkyada.

Variations

  • Add different vegetables if you like! Instead of zucchini, try eggplant. Try baby bella mushrooms instead of white mushrooms. You can be creative with this recipe.
  • You can add nutritional yeast to this sauce if you’d like to add a cheesy flavor without the dairy. Try starting with a tablespoon and go up from there.
  • If you don’t want to add the wine, you can add some vegetable broth instead.

  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 small zucchini chopped
  • 12 ounces white button mushrooms sliced

US Customary – Metric

Instructions

    I generally never follow a recipe when I make pasta. I always just throw in whatever I feel like or I have kicking around in the fridge. And I loooooove white wine in a vegetable pasta sauce! It just works so well somehow!

    The change in the amount of daylight does the same thing to me! I tend to go to bed and wake up with the sun. But last night I was so sleepy I went to bed at 8:30 (true story) and the sun was still up. Made me feel like a kid again.

    This pasta sauce sounds amazing! Love all the veggies you got in there : )
