Instructions
- 1
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- 2
While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their liquid and start to brown, about 8-10 minutes. If using white wine, add it now and let it simmer until mostly evaporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, fresh parsley, and fresh thyme. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- 5
Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Toss to combine, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the pasta to absorb some of the sauce.
- 6
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh parsley if desired.
Pro Tips
This recipe packs 18g of protein per serving. For even more protein, add a scoop of plant-based protein powder or extra beans.
Use high-quality olive oil and fresh herbs for the most authentic flavor. Dried herbs work in a pinch but fresh makes a noticeable difference.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
