September 15, 2020 By Lisa Kitahara 7 Comments

Incredible one pot creamy miso mushroom pasta loaded with mushrooms and a creamy nutty umami bomb sauce. This vegan creamy mushroom pasta is the perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner that is warm and comforting.

As much as I do love a good pasta salad, my body craves all the creamy pastas as soon as it gets a little chilly outside. Something about perfectly cooked pasta noodles dressed in a delicious sauce is just so warming and has always been my go-to comfort food.

We never ate a ton of stroganoff growing up, but this is something my mom would make us instead. It was kinda like her take on mushroom stroganoff with a Japanese twist. Her original recipe calls for a bit of heavy cream but I’ve found just using all sesame paste came out just as delicious.

This creamy mushroom pasta requires just 8 ingredients that are pantry staples in my kitchen. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Japanese leek: basically huge versions of scallions! You can find them at Asian grocery stores or you can just substitute with some scallions instead
  • Cultivated mushrooms: I like to use two types of mushrooms for both flavour and texture– my go to’s are shiimeji, shiitake, enoki and oyster mushrooms
  • Pasta: farfalle and penne works best for 1-pot pastas
  • Asian sesame paste: different from tahini, it’s much more deep in flavour since the sesame seed kernels are roasted and pairs incredibly well with the miso paste
  • Miso paste
  • Nutritional yeast: adds savory flavour and enhances the creamy texture
  • Rice vinegar: for a bit of tanggggg

How to make creamy mushroom pasta in one pot

My vegan 1-pot mushroom stroganoff is based off this recipe and method and is super easy:

  1. Cook leeks, garlic and mushrooms until it starts to shrink and caramelize.
  2. Add the pasta, veggie broth, soy sauce (or salt) and nutritional yeast and simmer uncovered for about 10-12 minutes until pasta is al dente. Add 1/4 cup of water and stir if the pasta is not done cooking and there isn’t enough liquid.
  3. Turn off the heat and stir in rice vinegar, tahini and miso paste. Adding these at the very end helps retain their flavours and keeps them bold.
  4. Adjust taste, serve and enjoy!

I’ve been making this 2-3 times a week since it started to get really chilly here and it is so warming and comforting, honestly just as much as mac and cheese!! I hope you try this easy peasy creamy mushroom pasta recipe and love it as much as we do!

    I made this today and we enjoyed it, thank you. I found that adding two cups of stock did not cover the pasta in the pan. I added enough water to cover the pasta so that it would cook, and at the end the dish had two much liquid, so a soup rather than a creamy sauce. It was still good to eat, and I like the recipe. But next time I will precook the pasta before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
