Everything is cooked in one pot. You heard me. The dried pasta is cooked along with sauteed mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes as well as Italian seasoning. Then everything is tossed together with homemade cashew cream.

When the hot pasta is tossed with cashew cream everything melts into the most delicious and addictive Italian sauce. It’s so delicious, and one of those all-in-one dinners that everyone at the table will love.

Cashew cream is a great base for creamy pastas! Just blend some soaked cashews until creamy and use. See notes on the recipe below for Nutfree options. One of the options is the tofu cream sauce in my mushroom skillet white lasagna.
Serve with a generous helping of vegan shredded cheese or vegan parmesan, and fresh herbs for that restaurant-style presentation.

Here’s a fabulous review of the book – Mitzi “A NEW BAR for all IP books! I own all three books by Pitzn. I love her recipes beyond what words can say.
In January 2022, I saw her upcoming IP cookbook advertised and I pre-ordered it on Amazon. However, I did NOT own an Instant Pot (and never intended to)… so, I bought one just because I knew I wanted this new book of Richa’s.

This one is Better than even the previous vegan and Indian cookbooks. SPLENDID object, gorgeous photos; incredible variety and selection of dishes; excellent through and through. If there’s a book prize for cookbooks, this book should be the 2022 winner—hands down!” ❤️❤️❤️❤️

ingredients needed for making creamy vegan mushroom pasta with sundried tomatoes

Ingredients:

  • pasta: fettuccine or linguine or similar pasta
  • garlic and onion sauteed in olive oil form the base of this recipe
  • mushrooms – any kind works but I find button mushrooms work well
  • sundried tomatoes lend that authentic Italian taste – I used dried ones but you can also use marinated ones
  • seasoning: garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, black pepper
  • miso paste lends the sauce a boost of umami. Use chickpea miso for Soyfree
  • the creaminess comes from homemade cashew cream made from raw cashews blended with flour and water
  • I like adding ½ cup spinach or other greens to make the dish more colorful
  • finish it off with some vegan parmesan for that restaurant-style presentation

Tips & Substitutions:

  • To make this without cashews, use ½ cup of firm or silken tofu and blend it with ¼ or 1/3 cup of water and 2 spoons of flour and add it to the fettuccine. You can also use mix of pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds instead of cashews.
  • To make gluten free, use gluten-free pasta, depending on the brand it might get cooked a little bit faster. Just keep an eye on pasta and cook until desired time.
