Creamy Pasta with Mushrooms

Instructions

1

Step 1

Start by dissolving the vegetable bouillon cubes in boiling water, then add the sliced mushrooms and let them soak for about 20 minutes. While that’s happening, put the seaweed in a small bowl and cover it with warm water to soften.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook it gently until it’s soft and fragrant, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, strain the mushrooms from the broth, squeezing out any extra liquid, and save the broth for later.

Step 3

Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they’re nicely browned and tender—this usually takes about 15 minutes. Pour in the coconut milk along with the reserved vegetable broth.

Step 4

Drain the seaweed, giving it a good squeeze to get rid of extra water, then toss it into the pot. Stir in the cilantro, lime juice, and tamari. Bring everything to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes so all the flavors can come together.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the coconut milk from separating. For longer storage, freeze in portions and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
