Enjoy this creamy vegan pumpkin alfredo with glazed shiitake mushrooms that are sweet and savory and coconut bacon that is crunchy and smokey. A dish that is both comforting and new, and it's great for any event.
Ingredients: 1 cup pumpkin puree. 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk. 1/4 cup nutritional yeast. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 8 ounces fettuccine pasta or pasta of choice. 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced. 2 tablespoons soy sauce. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. 1/2 cup coconut flakes. 1 teaspoon liquid smoke.
Instructions: Pumpkin puree, almond milk, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper should all be put into a blender. Mix until it's creamy and smooth. Put away. Follow the directions on the package to cook the pasta. Remove the water and set it aside. Put sliced shiitake mushrooms in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they start to give off their juices. Put maple syrup and soy sauce in the pan with the mushrooms. Keep cooking for two to three minutes more, until the mushrooms are soft and glazed. Take it off the heat and set it aside. Toast the coconut flakes in a different pan over medium-low heat for about two to three minutes, until they are golden brown and crispy. Take it off the heat and coat it with liquid smoke. Put away. Cooked pasta and pumpkin alfredo sauce should be mixed together in a large bowl. Toss the pasta until it's well covered. Place some pasta on each plate to serve. Add coconut bacon and glazed shiitake mushrooms on top. If you want, you can add fresh parsley or basil as a garnish. Enjoy while hot!
