Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the pasta to desired consistency, 10 to 13 minutes.
Drain well and return the pasta to the pot.
Meanwhile heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.
Add the onions, stirring often, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and partially browned.
Stir in the garlic mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes or so, or until the mushrooms are browned, and some of the liquid has evaporated.
Add the carrots, and cook 2 minutes. Stir in the peas, and cook through, another 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the tomato sauce into the pan, and bring to a boil.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the pasta in the pot, and toss until evenly coated and combined.
Divide among serving plates. Top with parmesan cheese.
Serve warm.
