This Mushroom Pasta with Soy Butter Garlic Sauce is rich & velvety, packed with umami. With only 11 plant based ingredients, this dish comes together in 20 minutes and makes for an easy comforting weeknight meal.

SOY BUTTER GARLIC SAUCE includes mixing soy sauce and butter. Have you guys tried it? It’s rich, salty, savoury, warm, rich & buttery flavours pairs so incredibly well with the flavours the mushrooms have. It truly brings together the flavour sensation of umami. Umami is a flavour far more complex then salty, bitter, sour and sweet. If you’ve never experienced this umami flavour, this dish will do justice in explaining it through your taste buds.

Everything about this dish is comforting and well balanced. Richness from the butter, saltiness from the soy sauce, savouriness from the garlic and onions and sweetness from the mirin and dashi. Dressed all over perfectly al dante pasta and meaty mushrooms thats then topped with vegan parmesan and green onions.

It takes less than 20 minutes to put together with basic pantry staple ingredients, so definitely give this one a go! This might become your new go to comforting pasta dish. 😉

Tips and Tricks to making Mushroom Pasta with Soy Butter Garlic Sauce

  • You can replace any mushrooms for the oyster mushrooms but I recommend “meaty-er” mushrooms. My favourites are: shimeji mushrooms & portobello mushrooms

  • Slightly brown the mushrooms as it will bring out their flavour more

  • Dashi (Kombu stock) & Mirin can be found in asian grocery stores

  • Keep an eye on the sauce so it doesn’t burn when reducing it by mixing every couple of seconds

  • I highly recommend topping it off with some vegan parmesan that you can make by processing: 1/2 c roasted cashews, 2 tbsp nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder & 1/2 tsp of salt

  • P.S. feel free to use this soy butter garlic sauce over rice, veggies and other protein sources!
