Step 1

Fill a large pot halfway with hot water (from the tap), cover, and bring to a boil. Uncover, add salt and pasta, and stir for a few seconds. Cook until desired firmness, 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

While the skillet heats up, peel, halve, and small dice onion.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add onion, veggie ground, mushrooms, carrots, and spices. Cook, breaking the veggie ground apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly, 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

Add marinara sauce to the skillet, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the sauce is simmering, reduce heat to medium and continue to simmer until the vegetables are soft, 5-6 minutes more.

Step 7

When the sauce is done, add pasta to the skillet, toss to combine, and remove from heat.

Step 8

To serve, divide pasta between plates or bowls. Enjoy!
