Italian Drunken Noodles

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta: Boil the spaghetti in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the garlic: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Deglaze with wine: Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
4. Build the sauce: Add the broth, crushed red pepper, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Cook the veggies: Toss in the cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and the flavors meld.
6. Combine with pasta: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce and vegetables. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes so the pasta absorbs some of the sauce.
7. Finish with basil: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh basil over the top.
8. Serve: Plate the noodles hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

Customize it! Feel free to add your favorite protein (like shrimp, chicken, or sausage) or extra veggies for more flavor and texture.
