Red Wine Angel Pasta

Red wine angel pasta, named because it is angel hair pasta in a delicious, decadent red wine marinara sauce! I love this recipe because it is insanely quick to make, yet tastes like something that is a bit fancier than regular spaghetti, you know?

Using angel hair pasta makes this extra quick because it only takes a few minutes to fully cook. The sauce is about 15 minutes start to finish, and is rich, a little cheesy, herby and so so good.

Weeknight dinners don’t have to be boring (or cooked from frozen) when you have fun recipes like this in your back pocket! I mean sure, a frozen pizza is a great option when you want zero work. But, sometimes you have a little extra energy to make something new and exciting, and this is the recipe for those times!

This recipe is based off of my One-Pot Red Wine Mushroom & Beef Pasta which is very similar but the pasta and sauce are both cooked in the same pot. It takes a little longer though, which is why I love this version for busy weeknights because it is even quicker!

Instructions

1. In a large pot on high heat, boil the pasta according to package directions. Just before draining, set aside 1/2 cup of pasta water for later. Drain and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium pot or large frying pan, add oil, mushrooms and garlic and cook about 5 minutes mushrooms are browned.
3. Add the marinara sauce, red wine, pasta water, bay leaf, basil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it doesn’t stick.
