Creamy Lemon and Mushroom Pasta

Ingredients

  • 1/2lb dry linguine pasta
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 250g silken tofu
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • chopped basil, for garnishing

Preparation

  1. Heat a pan

  2. Add in 1 tbsp olive oil

  3. Once hot, sauté the garlic and onions until tender

  4. Set aside

  5. Sauté the mushrooms of choice and then season with some soy sauce

  6. Set aside as well

  7. Drain excess liquid from the silken tofu

  8. Place the tofu and remaining sauce ingredients including the sautéed garlic and onion into a blender and blend until smooth

  9. Heat pot of water and add some salt and olive oil (just so pasta doesn’t stick together when cooking)

  10. While pasta is cooking, place the sauce in a pan

  11. Add in the cooked pasta and mix well

  12. I like to add the pasta directly from the pot right after it cooks while it’s still hot

  13. This way the pasta continues to cook and will absorb the flavours of the sauce

  14. Leave the pasta to cook in the sauce for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and is absorbed by the pasta

  15. Garnish pasta with some basil, if desired
