Preparation

Mushroom Asparagus Spaghetti is a satisifying vegan treat for the whole family, which will serve four to six adults as a main meal, and takes about 45 minutes to prepare and cook.

Start by washing and cleaning the veggies. Cut the onions in half from stem to root and then thinly slice them to make semi-circles, and place them in a large covered microwaveable dish. Cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and add to the dish. Cut the mushrooms into the thickness you desire and add to the dish.

Add the basil, oregano, fennel seeds, garlic, and mix well, cover, and cook in the microwave oven until the veggies are tender.

While the veggies are cooking, cook the spaghetti in a pot on on the stovetop.

When the veggies are almost cooked to the texture you desire, add the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, mix well, cover and finish cooking the veggies.

When the veggies and pasta are cooked, combine together and mix well.

Serve and enjoy!

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
