Mushroom Spaghetti Marinara

Mushroom Spaghetti Marinara is a quick and easy recipe featuring Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce and mushrooms in less than 20 minutes.

Remember my Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce from earlier this week? I just had to share one of my go-to quick meals to go with it.

Here is Mushroom Spaghetti Marinara using sliced mushrooms and cooked spaghetti tossed with a marinara sauce. It is dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients needed to make Mushroom Spaghetti Marinara.

• Dried spaghetti. You can use any pasta you want other than spaghetti. 
• Mushrooms. I love using mushrooms because they have a unique savory flavor known as umami, and a dense, meaty texture when cooked. You can absolutely omit this completely to make plain Spaghetti Marinara or alternatively use other ingredients like meat and vegetables.
• Marinara sauce. Make the Fresh Tomato Marinara Sauce in advance in bulks, then store it in the fridge or freezer so that you can make this recipe at any time.
• Fresh basil leaves. Add chopped fresh basil leaves for garnish and add an extra flavor to the sauce.
