Pasta with Marinated Mushrooms and Cashew Cheese
I have been making this dish for years, usually using vegan Parmesan or mozzarella, but since I have a huge hunk of cashew cheese, I decided to use that (which by the way, shreds beautifully). This dish also makes great leftovers for the next day’s lunch. The amounts of each ingredient isn’t specific, but dependent upon how much you want to make.
Pasta with Marinated Mushrooms and Cashew Cheese
Original recipe
Ingredients
- Pasta
- mushrooms, sliced
- tomatoes, chopped
- red wine
- minced garlic
- olive oil
- cashew cheese, shredded
- Earth Balance margarine
- Salt, to taste
Directions
Marinate the mushrooms in some red wine and let sit 15-20 minutes.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile heat olive oil and garlic in a small saute pan, then add mushrooms. Saute a few minutes—I don’t like to cook them until they’re shriveled. You may have to drain some leftover marinade.
Drain pasta and add 1-2 tablespoons of Earth Balance to pasta pot and coat the drained pasta. Add the mushrooms and tomatoes and combine well. Season with salt. Serve with cashew cheese and enjoy!
