Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 250 grams Button mushrooms, sliced
- 150 grams Shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Thyme, dried
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced button and shiitake mushrooms to the pan, cooking until they are golden brown and their liquid has mostly evaporated, about 8 minutes.
Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, thyme, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine the spices.
Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and stir again to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.
In a separate bowl, mix the almond milk, vegetable broth, and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the pan with the mushrooms, stirring constantly.
Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan, tossing to coat it evenly in the creamy mushroom sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan creamy mushroom pasta!
