Creamy Mushroom Sage Pasta. Delicious, vegan and dairy-free. Perfect for dinner and comes together in 30 minutes!
There are days when I feel that I need to up my pasta game. I tend to resort to a tomato based pasta sauce which can be redundant, if you’ve had it too many times. I’m also allergic to tomatoes (yet I still eat them) and I learned it’s a “Nightshade” food. What’s a Nightshade? It’s a type of food that causes inflammation to the body for certain individuals. Nightshades include eggplant, potatoes (not sweet potatoes), bell peppers, gogi berries, gooseberries and more. Signs of inflammation can range from an upset stomach, acne, bloating and more. Of course, before you stop eating nightshade foods altogether, reassess your body to check for immediate symptoms. For me, after eating a big bowl of spaghetti I would experience mild tummy ache and skin blemishes and I realized it wasn’t normal after almost 30 years! For more information on Nightshade foods, check out Butter Nutrition’s blog post by clicking here.
So instead of using tomato sauce, I created a cream based pasta that is dairy-free. But using almond or soy milk makes the sauce smell of almonds or soy, causing the sauce to taste a little off. I tried using organic canned Coconut Milk and ummm WINNER! It worked so well with the mushrooms, sage and spinach. It does have a coconut smell but it’s not off-putting to me. I prefer it much more than almond or soy milk.
For this recipe, I’m using organic cremini mushrooms, frozen spinach, Terra Delyssa Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Pacific Foods vegetable stock, Thai Kitchen whole Coconut Milk, shallots, garlic powder and Barilla non-GMO fettuccine pasta.
Well I hope you give this Creamy Mushroom Sage Pasta a try! It always excites me when you guys make my recipes and I hope this is one you try.
