# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 - 1 cup diced onion
03 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 2 1/2 cups cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium yellow or red bell pepper, diced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
09 - 48 ounces marinara sauce
10 - 1 1/2 cups water
11 - 12 ounces dry gluten-free spaghetti

→ Optional Ingredients

12 - 1 large handful fresh spinach or greens
13 - 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
14 - Vegan parmesan cheese, for serving

# Steps:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
02 - Stir in minced garlic, cremini mushrooms, bell pepper, sea salt, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
03 - Pour in the marinara sauce and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
04 - Break the gluten-free spaghetti in half and add to the pot. Stir gently to submerge the pasta. Cover and simmer for 13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
05 - Remove from heat and let stand covered for 3 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed. Stir in spinach or greens if using, then garnish with fresh basil leaves and vegan parmesan.

# Notes:

01 - Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.
