Ingredients
For 2 servings
- 180g pasta of your choice (I used whole wheat spaghettis)
- 300g fresh button mushrooms
- 40g cashews
- 3 tbsp liquid seasoning (such as Maggi)
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
Step 1
Start by soaking the cashew nuts. You can either do it the day before or let them stand in boiling water for 10 minutes while preparing the recipe.
Step 2
Cook your favorite pasta according to the packaging instructions.
Step 3
Heat oil in a pan, slice the mushrooms and sauté them on medium heat. Once the mushrooms cooked, add the liquid seasoning.
Step 4
Remove cashew nuts from water and rince them. Add them to a mixer along with half of the cooked mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix and progressively add 100-300 ml water until reaching the desired consistency.
Step 5
When the pasta is cooked, remove water from the pan and add the sauce along with the remaining mushrooms. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Notes and variations
- The mushroom sauce goes also very well with couscous, rice, quinoa and vegetables.
- In case of leftovers, think of adding a dash of water before re-heating them since the sauce tends to thicken.
