This Vegan Creamy Mushroom Pasta is a super savory, super comforting dinner with plenty of garlic and shallots. It’s easy to throw together and always impressive.

This is a super easy pasta to put together. The delicious comes from the shallots, garlic, and a splash of oat milk. It’s my go-to recipe when I want a quick but flavourful pasta and you don’t need many fresh ingredients aside from mushrooms! I really like to use shiitake mushrooms but any mushroom variety will do. You can even opt to use a mix of several mushroom types.

Ingredients for Creamy Mushroom Pasta without Dairy

Here’s what you need for this satisfying vegan pasta recipe:
  • Spaghetti. This is my favorite kind of noodle (gluten-free) to use for mushroom pasta, but you can use your favorite style.
  • Mushrooms I love the flavor of shiitake, but if they’re too strong for you, feel free to use button mushrooms. Or a mix if you like.
  • Shallot and garlic. These ingredients add a ton of flavor to the dish with a slightly caramelized, super-savory flavor.
  • Chili flakes. Feel free to use more or less s. depending o how much spice you like.
  • White wine. You can use a dry white wine or substitute vegetable broth.
  • Miso paste. I recommend white miso paste, as red will give your pasta an odd color.
  • Milk. I use unsweetened oat milk, but any kind of vegan milk works.
  • Nutritional yeast. This pasta gets its cheezy flavour from a little bit of nutritional yeast and miso. I find the umami combo adds a nice tang that resembles cheese. And you can also top this dish off with lots of vegan parmesan to finish.

Tips for Cooking Mushrooms

Avoid soggy mushrooms by sautéing them in a hot pan until the moisture has mostly evaporated. It’s best not to wash the mushrooms with water. Instead, brush away any dirt on the mushrooms with a kitchen towel or a pastry brush. If you have to wash your mushrooms, pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.

What Kind of Milk is Best?

I prefer oat milk in creamy sauces. I always use unsweetened, original-flavored plant milk. Coconut and/or almond could also work but beware of the sauce breaking and separating. The best way to incorporate the milk is towards the very end, on very low heat. If you expose some kinds of milk to high heat, it could end up breaking and turning gritty (this is especially the case with almond milk).
