About this Recipe
Garlic mushroom pasta is a classic, and I’ve been wondering how I could make it vegan without losing the creaminess and flavor of the original version for a while. I tried good versions of creamy pasta in the past, but it was never a Wow! for me.
This recipe totally changed the game! Trust me you will want to make it over and over again. It’s now a week classic at home. You could definitely add small dice of marinated tofu or tempeh to it for more proteins.
