Creamy Mushroom Pasta for 2. {Vegan Recipe}

I love getting in the kitchen and creating!

Pulling ingredients from the fridge, grabbing spices from the cabinet, picking the right, exact pan from under the stove—layering flavors, combining textures, thinking of how long each thing takes to cook and meld together—this is a form of meditation and connection to self for me!

And when I do it in a healthy and frugal way, I’m so damned pleased with myself. I can’t help but want everyone to taste and try my art, my love, my skills! This might be the best sauce I’ve ever made, and dammit it’s vegan too!

Sauté the onions and mushrooms in olive oil, until the onions are clear and the mushrooms are brown.

Add pink Himalayan salt (to taste) and add a seasoning mix if desired. (I use “Mrs. Dash Garlic Blend.”)

Cook 5 more minutes.

Add the tomatoes and lemon juice.

Bring to low boil; cook for 4 minutes.

Add the almond milk.

Simmer low for 10 minutes.
