Lazy teacher’s mushroom sauce for pasta (vegan/Thermomix)

Another recipe from the German Thermomix recipe site. It’s nothing spectacular, just something you can get on the table quickly during the week. I veganised the recipe by using olive oil (but on hindsight I prefer butter) and soya cream. Oh, and I added a LOT more pepper to my plate and used more than the therapeutic doses of herbs that were given in the original recipe (only 2 tsp in total, definitely not enough).

Ingredients:

1 onion, peeled and quartered

1 garlic clove
30 g butter (or a splodge of olive oil)
500 g mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
200 g cream (I used soya cream)
1 tbsp flour mixed with  a little water (I used potato starch)
1/2 tsp salt
2-3 pinches of pepper
1 tsp thyme, dried (or fresh)
1 tsp parsley, fresh

Directions:

1. Drop the quartered onion and garlic clove onto the running blade 3s/sp 5.  Push everything down with the spatula.

2. Add the oil or butter. Cook speed 1/varoma/3m.

3. Add the remaining ingredients, cook OPEN 100C/7m/REVERSE/stir.

That’s it. Feel free to jazz it up to your taste.  I added a tablespoon of wild mushroom stock paste from the health shop to lift it a little.

  1. Now we’re talking! Put pasta in a post’s title and I’m reaching for the “Like” button before I’ve read another word. The thing is, this recipe is really deserving of a “Like”, especially from a mushroom lover like myself. I bet you could really change it up by using different mushrooms. Yum!

    • My kids loved this recipe because the mushrooms pieces retain their shape and don’t go soggy. You could definitely use different, more intensely flavoured mushrooms for this.
