Ingredients

• 12 ounces Vegan fettuccine or tagliatelle
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 tablespoon Truffle oil
• 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Truffle shavings (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the vegan fettuccine or tagliatelle and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water and then drain the pasta.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are browned and have released their moisture.

Step 4

Lower the heat and stir in the almond milk and nutritional yeast. Let the mixture simmer for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta, and add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional truffle shavings for an added gourmet touch.

Step 8

Serve the pasta hot, portioned into bowls or plates, and enjoy the luxurious flavors of truffle-infused pasta.
