Creamy vegan mushroom pasta

Creamy and mouth-watering, this creamy mushroom mushroom paste without cream will surprise you with its secret ingredient: sunflower seeds. After soaking in hot water, the sunflower seeds will be ready to be blended into a rich creamy paste for the perfect creaminess and intensity of flavour. If you love mushrooms as much as I do, you will certainly love my mushroom risotto, or my lasagne with vegan sausage and the Mushrooms stuffed with vegan ricotta cheese.

Why you'll love this smoked tofu recipe

Here are some reasons why you will fall in love with the flavours of this recipe:

  • Use the dough you like best: I used regular spaghetti but feel free to opt for noodles or penne with creamy mushroom cream. The result will be just as delicious! To maintain a vegetable dish make sure the noodles are eggless.
  • A distinctive aroma because of the shade: White wine will be your ally and help to fade the mushrooms while cooking and give a deeper flavor to your mushroom pasta.
  • Creamy but without cream: have I said that before? But it's really true, and the thing I appreciate even more about this sunflower seed cream is that its flavor does not overpower the other flavors in the dish.
  • Even with frozen mushrooms: sometimes we have to do everything in a hurry, but you can also use this recipe with frozen mushrooms.
