Vegan Creamy Tahini Pasta
Ingredients
- 2 cups pasta of choice
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1/2 tin coconut milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 3/4 cup green peas
- 1/4 cup vegan cheese (optional)
Preparation
Cook the pasta according to packaging instructions.
Meanwhile, sauté the onion and garlic with water or oil in a non-stick frying pan for 2-3 minutes, until translucent.
Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes to soften them.
Add the coconut milk, nutritional yeast, tahini, salt, cumin, and lemon juice.
Stir well and allow to thicken slightly before adding the green peas and pasta.
If the sauce isn’t thick enough, add cornstarch or gluten-free flour.
Stir in the optional vegan cheese before serving.
