Ingredients

  • 2 tsp ghee
  • 1 each shallot sliced
  • ½ pound mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, oyster, maitake) sliced
  • 2 each garlic cloves chopped
  • 2 each thyme sprigs
  • ½ cup white wine
  • ½ cup unsweetened cashew milk
  • ½ cup vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
  • 1 tsp mushroom powder optional
  • 6 oz gluten free pasta I like Jovial brand
  • 2 tbsp basil chiffonade (or sliced or torn)
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese optional
  • avocado oil spray
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a saute pan over medium-low heat and add ghee. Once the ghee is melted, add the sliced shallots and cook until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Turn the pan up to medium-high heat and spray with avocado oil spray. Add the mixed mushrooms and sauté until brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the chopped garlic and thyme sprigs. If the pan is dry, spray with more avocado oil spray.
  • Add white wine and turn the heat to low and simmer. Once the wine has reduced add the cashew milk, vegetable stock and mushroom powder (if using). Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Allow the sauce to simmer and until thickened and creamy. About 2-3 minutes.
  • While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta until 2 minutes shy of al dente (it will still have a bite). Don't worry the pasta will continue to cook in the sauce.
  • Add the pasta directly to sauce and ¼ cup of pasta water to help loosen the sauce. If the sauce is still a little tight you can add another ¼ cup of pasta water at a time.
  • Simmer the pasta and the sauce together for 2-3 minutes until the pasta is al dente and the sauce is reduced and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • If you’re not dairy free, add the parmesan cheese. Finish with basil and enjoy!
