VEGAN MUSHROOM ALFREDO PASTA
INGREDIENTS:
1 pack of pasta of your choice
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1 cup raw cashews
2 cups of water
3-4 tbsp nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a large pot add water and a little salt to the water, let it boil and add the pasta. Cook for 11 minutes or follow the pasta instructions.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the garlic and onion for 6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper then add the mushrooms and sauté for 7 minutes.
In a high-speed blender, combine the cashew nut and 2 cups of water. Blend at high speed for 1 minute or until completely smooth. Pour the cashew nut milk over the mushrooms and lower the heat. Simmer for 3 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
Add the nutritional yeast and mix.
Once the pasta is cooked, transfer the pasta directly to the sauce with tongs. Mix and let cook another two minutes and go.
Try and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
