Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 16 ounces Cremini mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 12 ounces Cooked fettuccine or other pasta
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover with 1 cup of hot water. Let them soak for 15–20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
Slice the mushrooms thinly, then add them to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their moisture and are golden brown.
Stir in the paprika, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute to release the flavors.
Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender along with 1 cup of vegetable broth. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
Add the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, and the cashew cream to the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the skillet, stirring constantly, and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the sauce over cooked fettuccine or your preferred pasta. Top with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
