Ingredients

  • 250 g 8 oz pasta of your choice (penne, fettuccine, or gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 –4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 200 g 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk almond, oat, soy
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast for cheesy flavor
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • Optional: red pepper flakes lemon zest, or vegan parmesan

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté

  • In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2: Add Mushrooms

  • Add sliced mushrooms and cook until soft and slightly browned (about 5 minutes).
