For the Pasta
- 8 ounces pasta (such as tagliatelle or linguine)
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons non-dairy butter (or olive oil)
- salt and pepper, to taste For the Cashew Alfredo
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1/4 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon non-dairy butter
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (Note 1)
- 1/8 teaspoon EACH garlic powder and black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Add all of the Cashew Alfredo ingredients to a high-powered blend and blend until very smooth. There is no need to soak the cashews if using a high-powered blender.
- Step 2: Cook your pasta until al dente, reserving some of the hot pasta water in a mug before draining.
- Step 3: Heat the 2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, sprinkle with salt, and cook until soft. This will take about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Step 4: Combine the drained pasta and about 3/4 cup of the alfredo back in the pot. Add in enough pasta water to loosen the sauce (we use about 1/2 cup). Stir, adding more sauce and/or pasta water as needed to get a very creamy consistency.
- Step 3: Divide into bowls, top with the warm mushrooms, and serve with some black pepper on top.
