A comforting and savory dish, this vegan mushroom pasta brings together the earthy flavors of mushrooms with a creamy, dairy-free sauce. It’s a rich, satisfying meal that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

8 oz pasta of your choice (e.g., spaghetti, fettuccine)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini, white, or a mix)
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1/2 cup coconut milk or any other plant-based milk
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional for added flavor)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (for garnish)
Lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté until they release their juices and become tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  7. Stir in the nutritional yeast (if using) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to combine, making sure the pasta is well coated.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil, and add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired for an extra pop of flavor.
  10. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, add plant-based protein such as sautéed tofu, chickpeas, or tempeh.
  • Add spinach, kale, or bell peppers for extra nutrients and flavor.
  • To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you prefer a different flavor, use almond or oat milk instead of coconut milk.
  • Leftovers can be stored for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
  • This dish is great for meal prep and can be enjoyed as a lunch or dinner throughout the week.
