CREAMY SPAGHETTI WITH WILD MUSHROOMS [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE PASTA:

• 11 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
• 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for serving
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
• 5 sage leaves
• 5 sprigs of thyme, divided
• Wild mushrooms, sliced
• Dried Porcini mushrooms, soaked in water for 15 minutes

FOR THE PARMESAN CREAM:

• 1/4 cup vegan Parmesan
• 1/2 cup non-dairy cream
• 1 cup water

PREPARATION

1. First, soak the Porcini mushrooms in water. When soft, take the Porcini mushrooms out of the water and slice, set aside.
2. Put the spaghetti into a large pan of boiling, well-salted water and stir through. Cook spaghetti according to the package instructions.
3. Meanwhile, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add in the crushed garlic, sage leaves, and 4 thyme sprigs, and cook for 2 minutes.
4. Add all the mushrooms to the saucepan and fry them for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove the pan from heat and discard the sage leaves and thyme sprigs.
5. Next, make the dairy-free parmesan cream. Combine the dairy-free parmesan, dairy-free cream, and water in a small saucepan and keep over a very low heat, stirring constantly.
6. As soon as the cream is ready, drain the pasta and tip it into the mushroom mixture, allowing a little of the pasta water to drip into the sauce. toss the pasta to combine, then serve immediately with heaping spoonful of dairy-free parmesan cream, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of dairy-free grated parmesan, and the leaves from the remaining thyme sprig.
