15 Minute Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Introducing my delicious 15 minute Creamy Mushroom Pasta – the perfect midweek supper!

Trust me, this vegan pasta sauce is going to transform your pasta dinners and take them to the next level.

It’s creamy and packed full of flavour plus it’s dairy-free and gluten-free.

With only 8 simple ingredients, great food doesn’t come much easier than this!

HERE’S WHAT YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE ABOUT THIS CREAMY MUSHROOM PASTA:

  • Super easy
  • Comforting
  • Ready in 15 minutes
  • Perfectly balanced
  • Vegan and gluten-free

Using these 8 ingredients that are available from major supermarkets.

Ingredients

This delicious mushroom pasta is made with just 8 ingredients (plus olive oil and seasoning) and takes just 5 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook – ideal as an after-work dinner.  

The sauce is so creamy, it’s really hard to believe it’s dairy-free!

Fried Mushrooms

Any mushrooms work well – make it with just one type or try with a mixture of chestnut, button, oyster and shiitake.

Firstly, roughly chop and fry for about 5 minutes until softened.

The creamy dairy-free and egg-free sauce is made with cashew nuts! They’re soaked in warm water and then blended with almond milk (or other dairy-free milk) to give an amazingly smooth sauce. 

Try these swaps in the sauce:
Replace dried sage with dried thyme
Swap Dijon for English mustard (make sure it’s gluten-free)
Sprinkle in smoked paprika instead of paprika

15 Minute Creamy Mushroom Pasta

Add the velvety vegan sauce to the mushrooms and heat through for a couple of minutes.
