Let’s get into the recipe
Roasted Peppers- For this recipe I’ve used a jar of antipasti roasted peppers preserved in olive oil. It works perfectly for this, it’s full of flavour and absolutely perfect to blitz into a thick creamy sauce.
Vegan Cream- I used oatly cream which is like a single cream in texture, two cartons of this will work if you’re doubling this up to serve 4 people.
Dried herbs- This is what helps keep the recipe super speedy, I’ve used thyme, parsley, marjoram, oregano however you can used a mix of Herbs Da Province if that’s easier. It’s a very forgiving recipe.
Penne Pasta- I’ve used penne but honestly, ANY pasta will work. GF option if you need it to be!
Pasta water- Don’t forget to add a good ladle of the pasta water to the sauce, it’ll help it stay smooth and creamy and not too thick
Wild Mushrooms- Using wild mushrooms adds so much texture to this pasta recipe, but you can easily swap for chestnut or cup. Using a shiitake or a chanterelle mushroom gives a beautiful umami flavour to this recipe.
