Insanely Good Quinoa Pasta

This dish is so good, so easy and the veggies taste fresh- the perfect meal for watching a 49er's vs Packers playoff game!

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, chopped

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 6oz can tomato paste

1/4 cup vegetable stock

1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced

2 zucchini, cut in small dices

1-2 cans artichokes hearts, chopped

3 tomatoes, chopped

1/2 cup basil

1 tablespoon dried oregano

salt and pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1-2 boxes quinoa-corn pasta, cooked (I used shell shape)

Directions

• Cook pasta according to box directions
• In a large pan, heat olive oil. 
• Add onion and garlic and let cook about 3 minutes, until onions start to get tender. 
• Add tomato paste, vegetable stock, salt and pepper, oregano and red pepper flakes and chopped tomatoes and let cook about 8 minutes. 
• Add the rest of the vegetables and basil and cook about 10 more minutes. Until the zucchini just start to get soft (you want them to still have some firmness). 
• Serve over the quinoa pasta
• I sprinkled a little bit of soy mozzarella on top too!
