Tips & Variations
- For extra richness, try adding a splash of white wine when cooking the mushrooms.
- Use a mix of wild mushrooms like shiitake or portobello for deeper flavor.
- If you prefer a creamier sauce, blend a handful of soaked cashews into the coconut milk before adding.
- Top with fresh parsley or thyme for a bright herbal note.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of vegetable broth or water if the sauce has thickened too much.

Ingredients
Pasta
- 12 oz fettuccine or wide noodles
Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cups sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tbsp water)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are softened and starting to brown, about 7–8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth, coconut milk, and stir in the nutritional yeast. Let the mixture simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to reduce slightly.
- Thicken Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch mixed with water) and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Toss and Serve: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss thoroughly to coat the noodles with the mushroom sauce. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For a nutty flavor, try using cremini mushrooms instead of button.
- Adjust thickness of the sauce by adding more cornstarch slurry if it’s too thin.
- This dish can be garnished with fresh parsley or chives for added freshness.
- Use gluten-free pasta to make the recipe gluten-free.
