Ingredients
10 oz. gluten-free long pasta, such as spaghettini, linguini or fettuccini, cooked per package directions, leaving the pasta al dente (firm to bite)
1/4 cup vegan butter, (I used Earth Balance)
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 Tbsp. GF dried thyme leaves
10 oz. portobello mushrooms, or mushrooms of choice, sliced
1 medium zucchini, skin on, julienned or use a spiralizer
2 cups GF vegetable broth
1 cup plant-based milk or cream of choice (I used rice milk)
1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
1/8 tsp. GF ground nutmeg
1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. GF dried basil
2 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast (optional)
Sea salt and GF ground black pepper to taste
Choices of garnish: fresh basil, oregano, parsley, chives, thyme, tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a deep oven-safe dish (like a cast iron skillet) over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until soft, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in thyme and mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are just softened, about 3 minutes.
- Whisk together vegetable broth, dairy-free milk, tapioca starch, and nutmeg. Add zucchini to the pan, stirring to combine. Pour in the broth mixture and season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Drain the pasta (don’t rinse) and toss it with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
- Prepare for Baking: heat olive oil over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and basil, cooking until browned, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in nutritional yeast. Sprinkle this mixture over the pasta. Bake for about 12 minutes until bubbly and the top is golden brown. Garnish with your favorite herbs before serving. Enjoy!
