Instructions

Make the Vegan Parmesan Cheese (optional).
Make the Easy Healthy Pizza Sauce (if using store bought, skip this step.)
In a large ceramic/enamel-lined Dutch oven, skillet or similar stock pot, add the diced red onions and bell peppers; sauté over medium heat until they soften, approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Add a tablespoon or so of water if they start to stick and/or to prevent burning. Then add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
In the meantime, cook the pasta according to package directions. Note: Keep some of the pasta water. If needed, add a Tablespoon of pasta water at a time to thin out the sauce in Step 5.
Add the pizza sauce, 1 Tablespoon of Vegan Parmesan Cheese (or nutritional yeast), sliced mushrooms, and sliced olives to the sautéed onions, bell peppers, and garlic stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes. Then add the cooked pasta, stir to combine. Cook for one minute, then serve with additional toppings.
