Why and Where to find the ingredients for Garlic Mushroom Pasta

You might be wondering why I choose to add some ingredients in this recipe. The soy cooking cream together with the cashew butter will create a CREAMY texture. It is possible to leave out the cashew butter, and it will still be a yummy recipe. But the cashew butter adds more than just creaminess. It is a source of mono-unsaturated fatty acids, magnesium, and essential amino acids.* These are beneficial for your HEALTH. The nutritional yeast is a popular substitution for a CHEESY flavor. It is also a source of B12, but only the variant that is B12 enhanced.

You will find the basic ingredients easily in the grocery store, but you might wonder where to find soy cooking cream, nutritional yeast or cashew butter. All these ingredients are available in normal grocery stores, but in some countries you only find it in bio-stores. The soy cooking cream is in the aisle with plant-based shelf-stable milk. The cashew butter is in the aisle with peanut butter, and the nutritional yeast is in the bio section of a store. Did you not find the products, but still want to create this recipe? Most of these products can also be found in an online store. Got them all? It is time to create this Delicious Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pasta.

Method

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. In the meantime, chop the onions and garlic in small pieces. When the pasta is ready, set it aside until the sauce is ready.

Bake the onions and garlic in a pan by using oil. While they are getting light brown, slice up the mushrooms. Add the mushroom to the same pan and bake them until golden brown.

While the mushrooms, onions and garlic are getting brown; combine the soy cream, nutritional yeast, cashew butter, salt, pepper and chili flakes in a bowl. Mix these ingredients until you get a creamy sauce texture.

When the sauce is ready, the pasta is cooked and the mushrooms are brown, it is time to combine it all. Add in the sauce to the mushrooms in the pan. Stir it through and then add in the cooked pasta. Give it a good stir and make sure the sauce heats up. If it is all heated up, it is time to serve it.
