Description

Creamy, dreamy, and deeply satisfying — this Creamy Mushroom Pasta is what cozy dinner dreams are made of.

Savory shiitake mushrooms sautéed in rich vegan butter and garlic meet a luscious plant-based cream sauce that hugs every strand of pasta with comfort-food goodness.

Bright notes of lemon and herb play alongside earthy umami, while vegan parmesan and melty mozzarella make it feel indulgent without dairy.

Simple yet elegant, this is the kind of recipe that turns weeknight meals into something special — especially served alongside a crisp garden salad and crusty bread for soaking up every last drop.

It's hearty, flavorful, and destined to become a favorite in your vegan pasta rotation.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter
  • 4 cups Shiitake mushrooms (sliced to 1/4-inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups non-dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (can sub vegetable stock)
  • juice of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 16 ounces pasta of choice

Instructions
  1. 1

    Melt the vegan butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Add mushrooms, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.

     

  3. 3

    Stir in the creamer, wine, lemon, Italian seasoning, basil, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper, and simmer until slightly thickened — about 8 to 10 minutes.

     

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions to al dente.

     

  5. 5

    Strain the pasta and add it to the skillet, folding it into the cream sauce.

  6. 6

    Allow the mixture to return to a gentle simmer, reduce the heat to low, and stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella until the cheese has melted.

    Cover and remove from the heat.

     

  7. 7

    Garnish with fresh-cut chives and basil leaves.

    Serve immediately.

    Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy within 3 to 5 days.
