CREAMY HERBY MUSHROOM PASTA SAUCE

Hi friends πŸ‘‹.

I hope you are all doing well this evening - especially considering the craziness happening in the world these days. I hope that The Healing Root platforms are able to provide a reflective, healing space for you in times when you need it.

I’ve collaborated with the beautiful Gabrielle Pollock in a delicious and QUICK recipe swap! This recipe swap idea has really inspired me to reach out to some of my favorite plant based foodies in and around South Africa AND abroad! So, this is the first one of many to come. So keep them eyes peeled for some delicious recipe input from new faces & new places!

Gabrielle has provided The Healing Root fam with the plant based Creamy Shroom Pasta Sauce of your dreams ☁️ and I have, in turn, provided her with a delectable, easy-to-make Thai Green Coconut Noodle Bowl recipe which will be going live this week too! (WOW two recipes a week!? Is this real life!? hahaha).

METHOD:

  • Place a large frying pan on medium heat + fry the mushrooms, onions + garlic until golden.

  • Add the herbs, then the veggie stock, salt, pepper + nutritional yeast.

  • Bring to a boil + cover with a lid, allowing the mixture to simmer until the stock has reduced + become thick (depending on what stock you use & how much time you have to let it simmer you might need to add some corn starch to thicken!)

  • Turn off the heat + pour the coconut cream in, cover with the lid again + shake it slightly to β€œstir” it in

  • Pour over cooked pasta & top with fresh basil/oregano/coriander/thyme + a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for extra cheesiness πŸ§€
