Vegan Mushroom Leek Pasta
Hello & Happy Monday!!
Believe it or not, I’m not a huge pasta person. I create a pasta concept every now and again, but there are just a handful of pasta dishes that are just staples..
This is one of them!
I didn’t explore the glory of leeks until recently, but I was always intrigud by their look and I personally find them so much fun to work with given their mild onion flavor profile.
The traditional recipe calls for heavy cream, but I found that you can switch it up and simply opt for coconut milk or just almond milk if preferred. From a distance, based on looks alone, this recipe appears to be underwhelming.
However, looks are deceiving as behind these drab colors of leeks and mushrooms is a dish that just won’t quit!
I love this recipe for countless reasons! It’s quick, easy, timeless, involves around 10 ingredients, perf as a side dish, main dish, can be enjoyed during any season, is veggie packed, flavor packed, and even my husband who hates mushrooms loved it!
