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

Directions

Step 1

Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Season the mushrooms with salt, black pepper, thyme, and nutmeg. Stir well to combine the spices.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the nutritional yeast and stir again to ensure the mushrooms are evenly coated.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the pan, tossing to coat it evenly in the creamy mushroom sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your vegan creamy mushroom pasta!
