Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients
- 10-12 cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2-3 sprigs thyme
- salt
- pepper
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2-3 Tablespoon baba ghanoush
- 1 Tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup mushroom both or pasta water
- 4 leaves lacintao kale cut into ribbons
Instructions
- Begin cooking your preferred pasta according to instructions on packaging. The sauce will take ~7 minutes to prepare, so plan accordingly.
- In a large pan, add extra virgin olive oil and when it is hot, add mushrooms. Cook for ~2-3 mins, then add garlic and onions, together with salt & pepper and thyme leaves (not the sprigs themselves!).
- After about 1-2 mins, deglaze the pan with soy sauce and balsamic vinegar and reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add baba ghanoush and nutritional yeast and once dissolved, add mushroom broth or pasta water (i.e., the water your pasta is cooking in). This should start to thicken to about half its original volume pretty quickly, so keep an eye on it.
- Once pasta is cooked, add to pan with sauce, together with kale, and incorporate. Add additional pasta water if pasta gets too dry. Add extra black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I would love to see you cook some korean food with tempeh! Do you think it would work as in most Jjigae, instead of adding tofu?
Hi there! Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of tempeh (i’ve tried it a lot). But I’m sure you can sub in tempeh for tofu in a lot of my recipes!
