Red Wine & Mushroom Pasta

1 comment

Hello happy Monday everyone! Today I am sharing this recipe for Red Wine & Mushroom Pasta! This Red Wine & Mushroom Pasta recipe is incredible – such a unique flavour! Theres browned mushrooms and vegan beef, fresh basil, red wine, and lots of yummy vegan cheese melted into the sauce giving it the most creamy texture. You’ll want to try this asap!

The red wine really helps intensify the delicious tangy flavour of this pasta sauce. Its so rich in flavour, but crazy easy to make! You’ll want to boil your pasta first, and save some of the water for the sauce! Then, fry the vegan beef, mushrooms and  garlic until fragrant and browned. Add the marinara sauce, red wine, some pasta water and bay leaves and simmer with a lid on until the alcohol has cooked off and the sauce thickens. Then you stir in the cheese, add some fresh basil and the cooked pasta and enjoy!

This Red Wine & Mushroom Pasta is a great weeknight dinner idea, and you can even make it in a slow cooker! So instead of simmering the sauce for 10-15 minutes, let it cook in the slow cooker all day until you’re ready to eat. It will save you time when you get home and help you get dinner on the table so fast :).

  1. This is one of our favorite pasta dishes to make ever. My non vegan boyfriend requests this all the time!

    I was wondering what the calorie count is per serving if you happened to know?
