What I had for dinner tonight

Makes 1-2 servings(depends on if you make a large or medium can of tomatoes)
Marinara
Fresh Basil (as much or as little as you like)
Minced Garlic (as much or as little as you like, jar or fresh)
5 - 10 Fresh Mushrooms (fresh is best)
Large or medium can of diced tomatoes, drained (organic or commercial) -or- diced fresh romas or other paste tomato
1/4 or 1/2 box of Angel Hair Pasta - this cooks quickest (organic wholegrain or commercial semolina)

start the water for pasta , when it boils, add the pasta
Chop basil into thin strips (pick the leaves off the stems and discard stems)
Slice Mushooms
Heat 2 T. Olive Oil on med. high heat in saute pan
add mushrooms and saute for just a few minutes
add the garlic and basil then shortly thereafter add the drained tomatoes, saute until much of the liquid reduces
salt to taste, check on pasta, al dente
turn off heat for the sauce and then drain the pasta

You can figure out the rest, serve with a side salad and enjoy! Goes well with a roasted garlic paste bruschetta(vegan), which I sometimes prepare, and toast before I start cooking the pasta...
