Mushroom carbonara
Made with hearty mushrooms, sautéed leeks, and a creamy sauce, this dish delivers rich, elegant flavors in plant-based style. Simply sauté, mix, and assemble, then watch your friends and family savor every bite.
Preparation
- Cook the pasta: Boil the spaghetti in salted water for 8-10 minutes or to package instructions.
- Sauté the mushrooms: Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the mushrooms. As they cook, they should release enough liquid for frying. If they begin to stick, add a small amount of vegetable oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Create the sauce: Put the pan back on the heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once hot, sauté the leek and garlic for around 3 minutes. Stir in the vegan cream, nutritional yeast, and black pepper, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Assemble and serve: Add in the cooked spaghetti and mushrooms, then stir to combine. Toss in the fresh basil before serving.
