Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 200g fresh mushrooms (mix of button, cremini, or shiitake), sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Liquids & Sauces

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup plant-based cream (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)

Pantry Staples

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 200g pasta of choice (gluten-free options as preferred)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve one cup of pasta water before draining the pasta, then set aside.
  2. Sauté the Mushrooms: While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Build the Sauce: Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and sauté for about one minute until fragrant. Stir in the plant-based cream (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, black pepper, and natural gelling agent. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for approximately 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
  4. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Transfer the drained pasta to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Toss everything together, gradually adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve a silky, well-coated texture.
  5. Finish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta, give it a gentle toss, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Experiment with different mushroom varieties for distinctive flavors.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking mushrooms to ensure proper browning.
  • Use reserved pasta water to adjust sauce consistency smoothly.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and flavor.
  • Season gradually and taste as you cook to avoid over-seasoning.
