Ingredients

  • 8 ounces vegan pasta uncooked
  • 6 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion sliced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 dash sugar 
  • 1 package mushrooms any variety, sliced 
  • 1 medium bunch of broccoli cut into small florets
  • 1 bunch asparagus sliced into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons vegan parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

  • Boil pasta according to package instructions.
  • Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large cooking pan on medium heat. Add sliced red onion, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and a dash of sugar. Allow the onions to caramelize for about 20 minutes. Then add sliced mushrooms to the pan and let cook for an additional 10 minutes. Once the onions are caramelized and the mushrooms are cooked, bring the pan to low heat.

Add both vegetables to a large mixing bowl with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ teaspoon of sea salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix the vegetables together and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Drain the pasta and mix it with the caramelized onions and mushrooms.

  • Sprinkle on vegan parmesan cheese and vegan mozzarella cheese.
