Ingredients

• King oyster mushrooms - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Shallot - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Coconut cream - 100 ml
• White wine - 50 ml
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, fresh or dried
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Pasta (such as linguine) - 150 grams
• Vegetable broth - 200 ml

Steps

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
2. Meanwhile, slice the king oyster mushrooms into scallop-like rounds.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, then add the chopped shallot and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until the mushrooms are golden, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
6. Stir in the coconut cream, vegetable broth, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 5 minutes until thickened slightly.
7. Add the cooked pasta into the skillet, tossing to coat it with the creamy mushroom sauce.
