Main Ingredients- 20 cloves Garlic
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1/4 head Cabbage
- 1/2 Orange bell pepper
- 1/2 Red bell pepper
- 1 Green bell pepper
- 1 Red onion
- 15 Cherry tomatoes
- 1 pack Enoki mushrooms
- 1 jar Tomato pasta sauce (for 4 servings)
- 1 pack Pasta noodles (for 4 servings)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the 20 whole garlic cloves and sauté until golden brown, infusing the oil with a rich garlic aroma. Stir the garlic occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 2
Wash the 2 potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 2cm each. Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and sauté them with the garlic.
Step 3
Cut 1/4 head of cabbage into 2cm cubes and add it to the skillet. Sautéing the cabbage will bring out its natural sweetness and improve its texture.
Step 4
Core and thinly slice 1/2 orange bell pepper, 1/2 red bell pepper, and 1 green bell pepper into strips. Add the sliced peppers to the skillet and sauté until their vibrant colors begin to appear.
Step 5
Peel and thinly slice 1 red onion into strips, approximately 0.5cm thick. Add it to the skillet. The red onion will add a pleasant crunch and sweetness.
Step 6
Remove the stems from 15 cherry tomatoes and wash them under running water. Add them whole or halved to the skillet. Sauté them with the other vegetables; they will slightly break down, contributing to the sauce’s base.
Step 7
Trim the base of 1 pack of enoki mushrooms and lightly rinse them. Separate any clumps. Add the enoki mushrooms to the skillet and stir-fry until they wilt. They will add a tender texture to the pasta.
Step 8
Now, let’s prepare the delicious tomato pasta sauce. Have 1 jar of store-bought tomato pasta sauce ready, sufficient for 4 servings. (Example: Baekseol Tomato Pasta Sauce)
Step 9
Pour the prepared tomato pasta sauce over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes, allowing all the ingredients to meld together with the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if necessary.
Step 10
While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta noodles. In a large pot, bring plenty of water to a boil. Add a pinch of salt (about 10g of salt per liter of water) and a splash of olive oil. Once boiling, add 4 servings of pasta noodles and cook for approximately 8 minutes, or according to package directions minus 1 minute for al dente.
Step 11
Drain the cooked pasta noodles, reserving a little pasta water. Add the drained pasta directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce. This completes your delicious Tomato Vegetable Pasta! For an extra hearty meal, you can serve it with a small portion of rice shaped into a ball, turning it into a risotto-style dish. Enjoy your meal!
