CARAMELIZED ONION MUSHROOM PASTA

Rich, sweeet, and satisfying. RECIPE

Ingredients (for 2):
220 g / 8 oz pasta of choice
200 g / 7 oz brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
200 ml / 7oz soy or oat cream (1 pack)
1 large onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
salt & pepper to taste

for serving:
cheese (I used the vegan parmesan from violife)
fresh parsley, finely chopped
cracked pepper

Instructions:
Peel and thinly slice the onion. If you have a mandoline, I recommend using it. Heat olive oil in a pan and add the onions with salt to release their liquids. Cook the onions on medium-low heat for around 30 minutes, until they become dark and sticky. Stir only every few minutes! If necessary add a little bit of water to the bottom of the pan to avoid burning. There is no need to add any sugar or sweetener to the onions, they will release their natural juices and caramelize on their own after a little while.

Just before done, move them to the side of the pan. In the same pan, heat more olive oil and add the mushrooms with the garlic. Roast until nicely seared. Meanwhile, cook the pasta al dente (I recommend Rigatoni or Penne for this recipe). Add the plant-based cream and combine well.

Add the cooked pasta. Toss well. Serve with (vegan) parmesan, cracked pepper and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
