Ziti With Mushroom And Green Peppercorn Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, minced
8 ounces white button mushrooms, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 teaspoon bottled green peppercorn, drained
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1 lb ziti pasta or 1 lb other tubular pasta

Preparation

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cover, and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook, stirring a few times, until the mushrooms release their liquid and are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, peppercorns, and salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Keep warm over low heat.
Meanwhile, cook the ziti in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain well.
Transfer the ziti to a large bowl, add the sauce and toss gently to combine. Serve hot.
