Corn Pasta on Mushroom-Tomato Sauce (MV Lunch)
———————————————-

Here is another one of my Microwave lunches:

At home, pre-cook one to two cups of corn pasta. (I
discovered it in my local HFS). Note, that corn pasta
needs to cook longer and with more water than regular
pasta. Put pasta into lunch container.

Add: 1-2 cups of chopped Roma tomatoes and spices,
especially salt and pepper, oregano, parsley,
and chives or green onions. (You can use canned
tomatoes instead of fresh ones).

Add: as many chopped mushrooms as you want. I usually
do 6-12, depending on my mood for the day.
