Artichoke Mushroom Tomato Sauce is a hearty vegetarian sauce we love in our house. It has so much flavor and is easy to make in under 30 minutes. We love it over pasta, or spaghetti squash.
Since it's Monday I thought it was the perfect day to revisit a quick, inexpensive, meatless Monday family favorite Artichoke Mushroom Tomato Sauce.
I've had several readers ask for healthy quick meals or a filling meal on a budget and this is a definite go to lunch or dinner in our house for either of those.
Artichoke Mushroom Tomato Sauce over pasta is a great meatless Monday dish since it is inexpensive, easy, and satisfying. It is also extremely budget friendly if you can find canned artichokes on sale.
My kids love this, but my kids do eat most veggies and love artichokes.
Here's how to make Artichoke Mushroom Tomato Sauce:
Sauté in a large pan:
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 whole Chopped Medium Sized Onion
- 2 ribs Chopped Celery
- 1/2 pound Sliced Mushrooms
Add:
- 2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Add:
- 58 ounces Canned Tomatoes, Diced (I really like San Marzano Tomatoes when I can get them.)
- 6 ounces Tomato Paste
- 3 cloves Garlic, Minced (Feel free to add more if you love garlic like me!)
Add 13 ounces Artichoke Hearts Canned in Water, Chopped
Stir well and serve.
Enjoy over pasta or cooked spaghetti sauce. We also love it in Lasagna. I like rotini cooked until al dente and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

You know I can almost smell it cooking, right? :)I bet it makes the house fell comfy cozy! I never had artichokes in tomato sauce - have to try that. Hugs!
Well this looks simple enough :) Love all those flavors! This is my kind of comfort food!
I looooove artichokes! This recipe sounds great!
Oh, this sounds marvelous!!! Of course, my picky family would be pulling out the mushrooms and artichokes...but that makes more for me, right?
Delicious! I love, love, LOVE artichokes! What a GREAT idea to make them in a red sauce! Also, thanks for the scoop on the new pasta. I have tried and tried to like whole wheat pasta, but it's just not happening...
Wow - that sounds absolutely amazing!
What a delicious and healthy tomato sauce that is! SO perfect for any kind of pasta!
Either my computer or something is up with you site? I love the idea of this post: mushrooms + artichokes to make a pasta sauce but the font of the screen (other than comments) looks like wingdings?
Looks Delicious Serena.
That looks awesome! Can it work with any pasta? I am thinking of trying it with Farfelle
Hi Rini, Yes Farfelle works great we've enjoyed the sauce with all sorts of pasta! I only use rotini because it reminds me of childhood! Have a wonderful day!
Delicious! I made it last night with soft polenta. It makes plenty of sauce so we'll have the leftovers today for lunch with the hardened polenta. The house smelled so good. I also used all fresh herbs and doubled the amount called for the dried. My husband and I just got back from Italy, so we are trying to "extend" our trip by eating Italian food back home...
