🥣 Ingredients

For the Pasta:

  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh spinach
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For the Creamy Vegan Sauce:

  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk or ¾ cup cashew cream
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp vegan butter (optional for richness)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch or flour (for thickening)
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper to taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain.

2️⃣ Sauté the Mushrooms

In a large skillet, heat olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden.
Add garlic and sauté 1 more minute.

3️⃣ Add the Spinach

Stir in the spinach and let it wilt down into the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.

4️⃣ Make the Cream Sauce

In a bowl, whisk plant milk, coconut milk (or cashew cream), nutritional yeast, cornstarch, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Pour into the skillet and simmer until thick and creamy, stirring often.

If it’s too thick, add a splash of pasta water.

5️⃣ Toss Everything Together

Add the cooked spaghetti to the creamy mushroom sauce. Toss until every strand is coated in that dreamy, velvety goodness.

This Creamy Spinach & Mushroom Spaghetti is everything you want in a dinner—simple, creamy, warming, and absolutely plant-powered. 💚🍄
