Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 10 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme leaves
- 12 ounces chickpea pasta or other gluten-free pasta
- 1.5 cups coconut milk, full-fat
- 1.5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the chickpea pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture.
Season the mushroom mixture with salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves, stirring everything together.
Pour in the full-fat coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat slightly and cook for another 3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly.
Stir in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice, mixing well to create a creamy consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated in the creamy mushroom sauce.
Serve the dairy-free creamy mushroom pasta hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
