CREAMY VEGAN MUSHROOM STROGANOFF
When I’m craving some creamy pasta, I make Creamy Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff for dinner. Generally, Fridays are “stay at home” nights. Although the weekend is beginning, we are both tired from work, and to be honest, I usually want to make something simple. At our house, pasta is a staple. We love the variety of noodles, and of course, the fact most noodles are vegan helps immensely. In fact, recently, I am addicted to gluten-free noodles. Recently, I found a
chickpea tumeric pasta, which is not only gluten-free, its low in calories as well. Not only is is gluten-free, but it only has two ingredients, and it is perfect with Creamy Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff. When I was a kid, my grandma made the best beef stroganoff I ever ate; it was creamy and delicious. Her secret of using tomato paste in her cream sauce, giving the sauce a deeper flavor. Although I generally use almond milk for my creamy sauces, I decided to try using some raw cashews in this recipe. I only used 1/4 cup for the entire recipe, which serves 6 people, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt. Despite most instructions which require soaking cashews, if you have a good blender, it isn’t necessary. In order to give the Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff a meaty texture, I used a variety of mushroom. Although I love shiitake mushrooms I chose a combination of button mushrooms and baby portobellos, because those were the only ones available at the store. Also, I like a lot of mushrooms in my dishes, as well as shallots. Furthermore, the combination of onions and shallots creates an unbelievable flavor, and the white wine brings all the flavors together
