  3. Add the sliced mushrooms, raise the heat to medium, and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
  4. While the mushrooms are cooking, chop your tomatoes into quarters and add them to a food processor.
  5. Pulse until they've broken down into a sauce consistency and add them to the pan, raising the heat to medium-high.

  7. For the pasta, boil water in a pot, add salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
  8. Once the water is boiling add in your pasta for about 10-15 minutes or until "al dente".
  9. Strain the pasta when ready and add it to the sauce pan.
  10. At this point pick off a handful of basil leaves and stir them into the dish.
  11. Plate the pasta with grated parmesan, some red chili flakes and enjoy!
