✔️Ingredients You’ll Need
Notes on some of the ingredients, the full list of ingredients and their measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
Button mushrooms will need to be cleaned and sliced. If you’re short on time like me, buy them pre-sliced (as pictured), they are a little browner than when freshly sliced, but they still taste good!
Pasta such as fettuccine, penne, spirals or spaghetti works well for this recipe. I have made this with traditional wheat pasta and gluten free pasta. Both variations work well. Ensure yours is egg-free.
Dairy free butter only a spoonful is needed to saute the mushrooms
Fresh crushed garlic cloves, use either one or two.
Fresh parsley, either curly or flat and will need to be finely chopped. A handful will be used, half will be cooked in the sauce and the other half will be used as a garnish.
Dairy free milk, I like to use almond milk as I find it light, you can use whatever you like.
Plain flour is used to thicken the vegan mushroom sauce. Either wheat flour or gluten free flour will work. I have used both to cater for my family and both work perfectly.
Freshly squeezed lemon juice is added to the sauce and helps to elevate the flavor with a little sourness.
Salt, ground paprika and black pepper can be added to suit your taste. I alter between making this vegan mushroom pasta really peppery to mild, depending on my mood.
🍄 How to Make Vegan Mushroom Pasta Without Cream
Step 1 - Cook pasta as instructed, drain and set aside. I always like to undercook by one minute to ensure it is al dente.
Step 3 - In a bowl whisk together dairy free milk and plain flour. Set aside.
Step 2 - In a skillet over medium to high heat melt the dairy free butter, sauté mushrooms until they have started to wilt and then stir through crushed garlic.
Give the milk and flour a quick stir to pick up the flour from the bottom of the bowl and then pour over the mushrooms, add half of the chopped parsley, paprika, salt, pepper and lemon juice.
Lower heat to low - medium, and stir until the sauce has thickened. Add cooked pasta and stir everything together until the pasta is well coated. Serve immediately and garnish with remaining parsley.
🌟 Pro Tips
Dissolving the plain flour in cold dairy free milk ensures that the flour is evenly dispersed and will not clump when cooked in the sauce.
Lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper and paprika can be adjusted to suit your taste.
🍄Variations
Add more fiber by adding a handful of baby spinach leaves, chopped kale or roughly chopped (small) broccoli.
Add some cheezy flavoring by adding a small amount of nutritional yeast.
Add additional herbs such as fresh thyme leaves and oregano. Use in small amounts as these herbs are strong in flavor.
❓FAQ
Once the pasta has cooled down, transfer to an air-tight container and store in the fridge for up to five days. Freezing is not recommended.
The following types of mushrooms other than button mushrooms are great in pasta; portobello, Swiss Brown/Crimini, Shiitake, Morel, Chanterelle, Oyster, and Porcini.
