The ingredients for Simple Spaghetti are:

1/3 cup olive oil
16 oz. baby bella mushrooms
Pinch of red pepper flakes
10 ripe tomatoes, preferably locally grown
1/2 lb whole-wheat spaghetti (or penne, rigatoni, macaroni, etc.) noodles
Parmesan cheese and basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Here is how you make Simple Spaghetti:

Set a large pot of water over high heat.Once the water starts boiling add the tomatoes, 2 or 3 at a time, for about 1 minute each. Remove tomatoes with a slotted spoon and let them cool on a large cutting board. Add your dry pasta to the same pot of boiling water to cook following directions on package for timing.Heat a large saut? pan over medium-high and add the olive oil. Once the oil heats up, the mushrooms and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3 ? 4 minutes.Meanwhile peel, seed and chop the tomatoes. With a dull knife score the skin on each tomato and then peel it right off. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise and gently squeeze each one over a bowl to get the seeds out. It is okay if there are still a few seeds left in there. Cut out top of core/stem. Roughly chop into pieces and add to the mushrooms mixture.Cook and mash tomato mixture with the back of a wooden or cooking spoon until slightly thickened, about 6 ? 10 minutes.Pour sauce over well-drained pasta, garnish with Parmesan and/or fresh basil, and voila!
