CREAMY MUSHROOM PASTA

Such a classic! It has taken me a good time to develop the perfect recipe for a vegan version of a creamy mushroom pasta. I’ve made multiple versions of the sauce with tofu, with pine nuts and with almond cream just to prove to myself that nothing beats a cashew cream and it doesn’t so cashew cream it is. And now the recipe is ready to be shared.

To be honest, it doesn’t get much more basic than this but don’t let the simplicity of this dish to turn you off. This is definitely our go-to comfort food. It’s so easy to make and has all the flavours and texture that you crave for on a cold winter day. The flavours might not be as multi faceted and as exciting as they are in some more advanced recipes but to us that’s actually the beauty of this dish as well. There is nothing else to it, just the delicious creamy texture and flavour which we love. We hope you will too!
