Ingredients
- 1 (12oz/340g) pack gluten-free fettuccini (or regular pasta)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) grape seed oil (or extra-virgin olive oil)
- 1 cup (150g) diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 6 cups (540g) sliced white button or cremini mushrooms
- 2 cups (480ml) vegetable broth (see notes in post)
- 1 cup (140g) raw unsalted cashews
- 3 tablespoons wheat-free tamari
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme (not dried)
- 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1/4 cup (12g) finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, plus more to serve
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives, plus more to serve
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta, and set aside.
-
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil, and sauté the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and the remaining oil, and sauté for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are just softened. Remove from the heat and set aside.
-
Pour the broth, cashews, tamari, thyme, salt, mustard, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and pepper into your blender, and blast on high for 30 to 60 seconds, until smooth and creamy. Add about 1 cup (180g) of the cooked mushroom mixture, and pulse a few times on a very low speed just to break up the mushrooms slightly. (You want a speckled, grainy consistency, not a puree.)
-
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, pour in the blended cashew-broth-mushroom mixture and the textured cooked mushroom-and-onion mixture, and stir for a few minutes until heated through. Add the cooked pasta, parsley, and chives, and stir together until well combined.
-
Season to taste, and serve family-style in a big bowl garnished with additional parsley and chives, or portion into individual bowls, and garnish with the herbs.
