CREAMY CHEESY MUSHROOM PASTA (VEGAN) RECIPE ⠀

⠀

This recipe is legit! It’s the creamiest sauce that requires lots of licking your lips (or napkin usage) with a mild cheesy mushroom flavour. ⠀

⠀

It so happens to be fully plant based (vegan) but that’s not why I enjoy this dish. It’s super simple to make and provides a great source of energy (carbohydrates) good protein and low in saturated fat. Perfect for a post workout meal, or if you just want to enjoy a big bowl of delicious pasta! ⠀
