Directions

Put oil into a large skillet and heat over medium (oil should not pop) Add onions and stir until just tender. Add mushrooms and cook until onions are translucent and mushrooms have browned. Add sage, toss to incorporate. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Quick and Easy: Herb and Tomato Pasta

I like this recipe for its simplicity and how pretty it looks on a plate. It's quick, easy, and can be served either hot or cold.

Ingredients:
1 box pasta noodles of your choice (I recommend thin spaghetti or linguine)
1 can diced tomatoes, low sodium (If using fresh tomatoes, substitute about two cups chopped.)
1/4 cup finely diced onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
1 teaspoon fresh chopped marjoram
1 tablespoon fresh chopped sage
Chopped parsley to taste

Directions:

Cook pasta according to package directions or until desired texture. Set aside for warm, or drain and set in refrigerator for cold pasta.

Put all other ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined. Toss with pasta.
