Tomato and Mushroom Rosmarino

Your girl bumped into a different kind of Pasta as she was grocery shopping the other day. The tag on the shelf said “Rice Pasta” and the first thing popped into my mind was Risotto, which I am no fan of. Risotto is a dish made from Arborio Rice which is an Italian Rice. It is very tasty when its fresh and warm but not as delicious when cold because it gets dry and grainy. Anyway, I thought to myself this could be less chewy and grainy. 

I eventually did a bit of research to see how it is best served and to my surprise a lot of salads popped up, but still I was more interested in cooking it as a warm pasta dish thanks to the cloudy weather outside.

So here is a recipe for this beautiful looking baby without the chicken recipe, because that is standard: You just season your meat and saute on high heat.

Ingredients:

  • Chopped Onion
  • Chopped Celery
  • Diced Carrots
  • Garlic
  • Chopped Mushrooms
  • Halved Cherry Tomatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 350ml chicken Stock
  • 350ml Rosmarino Pasta
  • Chopped Parsley
  • Chopped Coriander

Method:

  1. Bring 1 litre of water to the boil and add 5ml cooking oil and salt to taste; – Add pasta and stir occassionally. Cook for 8 minutes; place in a colander.
  2. Use the same pan used for your chicken; Add your chopped onions, garlic, celery and carrots and cook till soft.
  3. Add mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes then add your halved tomatoes and a teaspoon of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes.
  4. Add tomato paste, herbs and your pasta.
  5. Pour in your chicken stock and let the pasta simmer for about 5 minutes, depending on how done it was after boiling. NB! Do not overcook.
  6. Season as desired and serve.

Serve on its own as a vegetarian dish (you would need to use vegetable stock) or yiu can add your protein of choice.
