Description

This vegan, gluten-free recipe for Mushroom Bomb Lentil Pasta is all about the umami quality of mushrooms, prepared with a touch of truffle oil and served with protein-rich lentil pasta.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 8-ounce package lentil pasta
  • 3 tablespoons truffle oil* (olive oil infused with truffle)
  • 1 pound mixed mushrooms (enoki, shiitake, cremini, hen of the woods, maitake, or oyster), coarsely sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh (or dried) thyme
  • 1 cup dry white wine** (i.e., Chardonnay)
  • Sea salt, as desired (truffle salt is excellent)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, as desired

Instructions

  1. Cook lentil pasta in boiling water, according to package directions. Rinse and drain pasta.
  2. While pasta is cooking, heat truffle oil in a large saute pan and add mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Saute for 3 minutes.
  3. Add white wine and continue sautéing for an additional 5 minutes to reduce liquid and make a more concentrated sauce.
  4. Add drained cooked pasta to mushroom mixture and toss together. Season as desired with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

*You may substitute extra virgin olive oil instead of truffle oil, if desired.

**Substitute 7/8 cup vegetable broth and 2 tablespoons vinegar for white wine if desired.
