ingredients
Steps
Cook Pasta
Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, but reserve a little of the cooking water.
Mushroom Base
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté over high heat for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Make Sauce
Pour the vegan cooking cream and vegetable broth into the mushrooms. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let it gently bubble for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Stir in half of the grated vegan cheese and let it melt.
Combine
Add the drained pasta to the pan with the mushroom sauce. Toss thoroughly to ensure the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce. If it seems too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water. Finally, stir in half of the chopped fresh parsley.
Serve
Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining grated vegan cheese and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the pasta; keep it al dente so it can better absorb the sauce.
► Experiment with different mushroom varieties, like shiitake or wild mushrooms, for extra flavor.
► Before serving, sprinkle with a little more fresh parsley and vegan cheese for the perfect experience.
