Ingredients
- 8 ounces Vegan pasta
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 10 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk, full-fat
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the vegan pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut milk to the skillet. Stir in the nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 7
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 8
Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
