Vegetarian mushrooms Rigatoni

🧂 Ingredients

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 8 x 8 baking dish.
2 Bring a large pot of water to boil. When the water is boiling, add a healthy
pinch of salt and add rigatoni. Stir well and cook according to package
instructions. When done, drain (do not rinse) and set aside.
3 Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat olive oil and saute onion and garlic until
fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4 Add sliced mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms are just soft, but
still firm, about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5 Add diced tomatoes and bring to a gentle simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste,
simmer for 2 more minutes.
6 Pour cooked rigatoni into the baking dish and pour sauce over the top. Mix
slightly by stirring a few times with a wooden spoon. Top with grated parmigiano
cheese.
7 Place in oven, uncovered, and cook for 15 - 20 minutes until cheese is melted
and dish is hot and bubbly. Serve with a side salad and a glass of red wine.
Makes a hearty main dish.
