Vegan Garlic Mushroom Pasta is a savory and satisfying dish that combines earthy mushrooms with fragrant garlic, tossed in al dente pasta. This comforting meal is perfect for a quick dinner or a special occasion, bringing rich flavors without any animal products.

Ingredients

• Pasta (spaghetti or fettuccine) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 4 cloves
• Mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini) - 250 grams
• Vegetable broth - 1 cup
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and have released their moisture.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
5. Stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, along with a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated.
7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
