\"VEGAN-ONE-POT-ORECCHIETTE-PASTA-MINIMALISTBAKER_COM-VEGAN\"<\/a>12 ounces dry pasta
\n1\/2 small eggplant, cubed
\n2 cups cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
\n3 cloves garlic, minced and divided
\n1.5 cups vegan marinara sauce
\n2 cup water
\n2 tsp sea salt + more for eggplant
\n1 tsp ground black pepper
\n2 T. olive oil
\nOptional: Fresh parsley or basil for finishing<\/p>\n

Rinse and dice eggplant into small, bite-sized cubes. Place in a colander in the sink and sprinkle generously with salt to draw out some of the moisture. Wait 20-30 minutes, then rinse and pat thoroughly dry with a towel. Set aside. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re short on time, skip the eggplant and double the mushrooms. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 2-3 T. olive oil, the eggplant and 1 clove of minced garlic. Sprinkle with 1\/2 tsp sea salt and stir. Sautee for 3-5 minutes or until a golden brown color is achieved, then add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes more or until all of the veggies have color. Set aside and cover \u00e2\u20ac\u201c you will top the pasta with it. To the same saucepan, add the pasta, water, marinara sauce, the remaining cloves of garlic. Start with 1.5 tsp sea salt and 1 tsp black pepper (you will likely add more later depending on the saltiness of your marinara\/your personal taste). Bring mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer until the pasta is cooked to al dente \u00e2\u20ac\u201c will vary depending on kind of pasta \u00e2\u20ac\u201c but typically an average of 10 minutes, stirring once or twice so it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t stick to the pan. Once cooked, stir and taste to adjust seasonings. I added more salt and fresh herbs at this point. Remove from heat and top with eggplant-mushroom mixture and more fresh parsley or basil. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n

For the pasta, I used 3\/4 of a 16-ounce bag of orecchiette, but would recommend a spaghetti or penne as it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not as likely to clump together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
