Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) pasta of your choice (spaghetti or fettuccine are excellent options)

2 cups (300g) mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms are recommended)

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup (240ml) vegetable broth

1 cup (240ml) coconut milk (use full-fat for a creamier texture)

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your chosen pasta and cook according to the package directions until it reaches an al dente texture. Once done, drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the starchy pasta water for later use.

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet set over medium heat, pour in the olive oil. Once heated, add the finely chopped onion and sauté for approximately 2-3 minutes until it turns translucent and fragrant. Next, add the minced garlic, continuing to sauté for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Introduce the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn golden brown and release their moisture, allowing for even cooking.

        Create the Sauce: Slowly pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, mixing them together thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, stir in the nutritional yeast, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-10 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.

          Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the sauce in the skillet, tossing it gently to ensure the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy mushroom sauce. If the sauce appears too thick, gradually incorporate some of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

            Serve: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish your Mushroom Magic Pasta with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy every delightful bite!
