I combined mushrooms with fresh zucchini, thyme and garlic to make this delicious creamy vegan pasta sauce. It is such a simple recipe, and yet there is so much flavour. The veggie pasta is then baked with a crunchy topping. By adding zucchini to this dish, I cut back on pasta, thus cutting back on few carbs and adding more flavour and nutrition. I believe you can never have enough of simple to make family style gluten-free pasta recipes. This vegan pasta dish has become one of my family’s favourites and mine since it takes minutes to make

    Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 F
  • Bring a large pot with salted water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt butter over medium heat in a deep oven-safe pan/pot. I used a cast iron pan
  • Add onions and garlic and sauté until soft. About 5 minutes
  • Stir in thyme and mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are just softened. About 3 minutes
  • Whisk together broth, milk, tapioca starch and nutmeg. Add zucchini to the pan and stir to combine. Add broth mixture and 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook over medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken. About 5 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Drain the pasta and add to the sauce. Do not rinse the pasta. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta
  • In a small pan heat olive oil over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and basil and cook just to brown the breadcrumbs. About 1 minute.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in nutritional yeast. Sprinkle over the pasta
  • Bake for about 12 minutes until bubbly, and the top has browned. Garnish with your favourite herbs
