Creamy Penne with Mushrooms
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Begin the creamy penne with mushrooms by getting everything ready. Clean the mushrooms, slice them, and finely chop the onion and garlic.
- 2
Have everything ready. The sauce cooks fast once the pan gets hot.
Sauce
- 3
Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until translucent.
- 4
Add the mushrooms and raise the heat slightly. Cook them for about 6 minutes, until they release their moisture and start to turn golden.
- 5
Add the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Pour in the oat cream alternative.
- 6
Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes.
- 7
Add the baby spinach at the end and let it wilt. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Pasta
- 8
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cook the penne according to the package until almost al dente.
- 9
Before draining, reserve a little starchy pasta water. It helps the sauce come together.
Serving
- 10
Transfer the drained penne into the pan with the sauce. Toss to coat.
- 11
If the sauce turns too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water and warm everything through gently until glossy.
- 12
Divide the finished penne among plates and serve right away, while the sauce is smooth.
More tips:
If you want an even fuller flavour without dairy, add an extra tablespoon of nutritional yeast to the sauce.
You can replace the oat cream alternative with a soy cooking alternative without changing the method.
