  • 4 Servings
  • Prep 5 min
  • Cook 25 min

Ingredients:

  • Salt
  • 1 pound whole wheat penne
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 4 ribs celery from the heart, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered
  • 1 cubanelle pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 large carrot, grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Pepper
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese, plus more to pass around the table
  • 1/2 cup basil leaves, shredded

Directions:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and return the pasta to the pot.

  2. While the pasta is working, in a large, deep skillet, heat the EVOO, 4 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, peppers, carrot, garlic and bay leaf; season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the wine and boil for 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and chicken broth, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. Stir the 1 cup cheese and half of the sauce into the pasta. Serve in shallow bowls, topped with the remaining sauce and the basil. Pass extra cheese at the table.
