Boil Water and Cook Pasta.
Begin by boiling some water in a pot over medium high heat. When it starts to boil, slowly add your desired pasta to the water and cook for 8-10 minutes or until just al dente. As you wait for the pasta to boil, get out your mushrooms and chop them into small pieces. Once your pasta is cooked, drain it in a fine mesh strainer and set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. When hot, add in your minced garlic and oyster mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Then add in your pasta, vegan cream sauce, cherry tomatoes, and spinach to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5 minutes or until the vegan cream sauce has thickened slightly. Serve warm with parsley (optional) and enjoy!
Prepare the Sauce.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. When melted, add the chopped mushrooms and saute for 2-3 minutes or until they become golden brown. Now add 1/4 cup of white wine, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until all of the flavors have melded together.
Once cooked, add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another minute until the mixture is slightly thickened. Now, slowly stir in 2 cups of vegetable broth and whisk until smooth. Let the sauce simmer on low heat while stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until it reaches a creamy consistency. Now remove from heat and set aside. Now you are ready to make your mushroom pasta dish!
Sauté Mushrooms, Onions, and Garlic Together for Flavor.
Next, add 1/2 cup of sliced onions and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes. Once the onions have softened, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Finally, season with a pinch of salt and pepper to balance out all of the flavors. This sautéed combination of mushrooms, onions, and garlic will provide a delicious base for your pasta dish!
Once the mushrooms have softened and released their juices, it’s time to move on to the next ingredient. For this step, you want to add a 1/2 cup of sliced onion, This will provide sweetness and depth for the overall dish, making it easy for all of your other ingredients to blend together seamlessly. As the onions cook for 3-4 minutes, they should soften and start to sweeten up. From there, stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Then season with a pinch of salt and pepper and you will be ready to continue building your pasta dish!
