Vegan Creamy Mushroom Pasta

This delicious vegan creamy mushroom pasta can be made in 30 minutes and it contains mostly pantry ingredients. What we love so much about this recipe is that you are using both raw and cooked ingredients. It delivers an amazing taste and it brings the creaminess you are looking for when making a creamy pasta without having any dairy products.

The sauce is suitable for dairy-free diets, vegan and vegetarian and if you have gluten-free miso paste (or leave this ingredient out), it will be gluten-free.

For our vegan creamy mushroom pasta, we use white wine. When we got married last year we bought way to much wine. Maybe that is cause half of the guests were Irish, but still way too much! So we have been finding other ways of using it instead of drinking it all. The white wine gives your sauces an amazing flavour. I love the smell I get in the kitchen while cooking, plus who can resist a small glass of wine while cooking?

Tips for making the perfect vegan creamy pasta:

• We soak our cashews in boiling water during 15-20 minutes and it works perfectly. You can leave them soaking overnight with cold or room temperature water if you prefer.
• The cashew nut cream needs to be a thickish cream so you can adjust with more water if it is too thick or more cashews if it is too thin. Do not worry if you need to add some raw cashews.
• To get the creaminess we all want from this dish we strongly recommend adding some pasta water.

Notes

For this recipe, we prefer to cook Spaghetti, Linguine or Fettuccine, but this is just our opinion and I am sure it will be yummy with any type of pasta you like or have in your pantry.
