    Vegan vegetable and mushroom pasta

    Ah how much I love pasta. It pretty much saturates my Instagram feed these days. And it pretty much solves every problem. Quarter-life crisis? Huge bowl of pasta. Essay not writing itself? Pasta. Phone signal being non-existent in my room? Yep, you guessed it: more pasta.

    This is all a slight exaggeration - I'm all for facing your problems head-on. But if eating pasta helps out along the journey, I won't be one to stop you and no one can stop me either. That's why I'm existed to share this vegan vegetable and mushroom pasta, as it ticks pretty much all the boxes for what I believe constitutes a perfect weeknight dinner!

    Vegan Vegetable And Mushroom Pasta

    How much you can create with simple ingredients never fails to amaze me. This pasta dish is just the perfect example. Every bite is bursting with flavour and texture, but the recipe does not involve any special ingredients or fancy preparation methods. Even if you're a complete beginner in the kitchen, or as clumsy as yours truly, it's very hard to mess it up.

    I think what makes this vegan mushroom pasta so delicious is the natural flavour of all the vegetables. I used onion, carrot, and kale, but you can throw in anything else you have laying around in the fridge. To be honest, I couldn't think of a better way to reach your daily veggie requirements than with a flavourful pasta dinner. Don't skip the carrots, because they acquire a great texture and pair perfectly with the tomato sauce. I also added mushrooms which are the star of the show. Not only are they a great source of plant protein, but also help switch up the texture and bring a bit of earthiness to the flavour profile.

    We are also making a creamy, rich, yet incredibly simple tomato sauce. I know people typically fall into either the veggie-based/creamy sauce category when it comes to pasta, but I see no reason not to combine both! Just a splash of plantbased milk does the trick, so if you don't like or don't eat coconut milk, that is not a necessity for this mushroom pasta dish. And of course, what's not to love about a yummy sauce that also delivers yet another serving of vegetables?!

    This is an ideal for a weeknight dinner or a quick lunch, and also works as a meal-prep friendly dish. But also feel free to bring this along to parties and gatherings to serve at the dinner table for everyone to enjoy!
