Comfort food made quick, easy and healthy - an entirely plant-based Creamy Mushroom Pasta made with red lentil penne.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Two<\/p>\n

The Super Blue Blood Moon a few evenings ago brought some intense weather with it didn’t it! Tamaki Drive, my local waterfront walk, was completely flooded with the King tide, and for a few days now it hasn’t felt much like summer at all.<\/p>\n

Just quietly, it was the perfect excuse to indulge in a little comfort food, rugged up on the couch with my journal and Oracle cards. Those are the best kind of days in my opinion.<\/p>\n

So today I have a simple Creamy Mushroom Pasta recipe to share. It is entirely plant-based and naturally gluten free, with thanks to the wonderful, life-changing legume pastas that are now gracing our shelves.<\/p>\n

\"Fresh<\/p>\n

To make the sauce, you start with garlic and shallot, then add a very generous amount of mushrooms and simmer together with lush coconut milk, mirin (a slightly sweet tasting Japanese rice wine) and tamari (gluten free soy sauce – the saltiness balancing out the sweetness of mirin). Fresh rocket (lots of it!) is then folded through to finish.<\/p>\n

I added a few heaped tablespoons of my raw Brazil Nut Parmesan<\/a> just before serving – and it really took it next level.<\/p>\n

It’s an incredibly simple dish, and done in 25 minutes flat.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy this one – thanks for reading and I’ll see you next week with a Valentine’s treat!<\/p>\n
