Discussion & Rating
I made this and it tastes amazing! I love mushrooms and I figured I would try this since I have never had oyster mushrooms before. I loved them in this recipe! I used edamame pasta and I love the bite that I get with this (I am gluten free). I can't wait to try more of your mushroom recipes!
Not surprised at all that this dish was fantastic, you are an awesome cook (you seem like a nice person too) and i love your recipes. I did replace the coconut milk with blended raw soaked cashews, cause my brother swears by it and he was right, result was great. Now for some dessert. Choices choices, so difficult.
Honestly, this recipe is life-saving, especially on a weekday. I don't use the yeast but it still comes out amazing and creamy every time. Also I thought there wouldn't be enough water to cook the pasta but you really have to trust the process here!
Love the mixture & texture!
Thanks for sharing!
Amazing recipe, such complimentary flavours. Loved it!
I have made this recipe several times already and every single time it's a grand success and everybody loves it! It's warm and comforting, easy to make and healthy! I absolutely love it and will keep it in my repertoire most likely forever as I can't imagine every getting sick of it
Absolutely delicious!!
Really easy to make and such a tasty dish
So good! Love from germany.
I've made this recipe so many times now, I cannot count. It's become one of my go-to. It's quick, easy, delicious and just in one pot ! Now I've got my habits : I use way more sun dried tomatoes, and pour the boiling water inside the empty coconut milk can, before pouring it into the pot, so that I don't have to scrape the can to get all the coconut milk (not a native speaker, so I hope it was easy to understand... :P). I would never have thought to combine all those ingredients in the first place : thank you, it's genious and so tasty !
Warning: Good Profanity coming up.
F*** me is this dish so f****** good. It cooks in 30 mins and is just the perfect amount of work for a busy college student. I spend 30 mins to make it and it lasts me a day or two. I just can't have enough of it. I discovered this a month ago, and given that I have been having it 2+ times a week, I had to drop a comment.
I also have a lot of your miso ramen soup a couple of times a week. Your recipes are goated. Thanks for making veganism cheap, affordable and most importantly extremely delicious for us!
Thank you for all that you do!
Just to clarify, so instead of the bullion cubes, 2 cups of chicken broth can be used?
Thank you!
Buonissima! Una delle preferite di mia figlia
Once more... an amazing recipe! THANKS!
Did this recipe several times already and it always saves us when we need a quick and wholesome meal :-)
We make this at least a couple of times a month, it is so tasty and easy! The kids (1 and 3) love it as well. We just leave out the pepper flakes in the first step and add it the grown up bowls at the end.
This recipe is part of my regular meal plan! Super quick and simple. Myself, my partner, and my 6 year old love it. The only thing I do differently is I will cook down the mushrooms and the spices for a minute or two before adding all the liquid.
Love this recipe. With its thick sauce that by the way very enhanced by the taste of those mushrooms it’ s perfect if you look for something comforting and flavorful.
I made this pasta today and we really loved it. I am very unexperienced when it comes to cooking but I felt very comfortable with this recipe. So thank you very much, this is amazing. :))
Out of curiosity, is it possible to swap the mushrooms for dry ones you rehydrate or is it a bad idea ?
Looooove this pasta recipe! Soo creamy and delicious!
Love it, easy, flavorful, and can be made easier by buying pre-sliced sliced mushrooms, and using Sadia's suggested substitution of veggie stock for the bouillions and water.
One of the best dishes I've ever made. My entire family loves it (none of them are vegan) and they ask for it constantly!
I’ve just made the one pot creamy mushroom pasta for my family, and oh my goodness it was amazing!!
Will definitely be making it again.
Thank you 😊
Sadia this is such a game changer recipe, thank you so much for making it. last weekend I made this pasta for some friends and they loved it. it was an instant hit with their kids too. and what a wholesome treat for my vegan-going spirit :) already planning to make it again.
Easy, fast and healthy. Parents and kids love it!
Incredible recipe! You have out done yourself here. All the non vegans love it too. Thank you for sharing!
Indeed mind-blowing!! such a great recipe!!Thank you Sadia!
This instantly became a family favorite. It's about 100 times more flavorful and satisfying than any other mushroom cream sauce. I crave it at least every other week.
Absolutely loved this. Big hit with the rest of the non vegan family too. Thank you!
didn’t add tomatoes because i didn’t had them. For me it was not necessary. Wauw. So fast , yet so delicious!
I love these types of pasta! I used green pea pasta and it went soo good together. I defo recommend for everyone to give this a try. Making it was quick and easy and the final result is incredible. Thank you!
Loved it, so delicious and easy and love that it only leaves one pot to wash
Absolutely delicious! It was sooo good I ended up making two pots the same day so my husband and I could have some the next day for lunch. The whole time we were eating we caught ourselves repeating "mmmmm". Its so delicious I had to share the recipe with multiple friends and family.
We LOVE this dish so much! It’s the easiest to make and unbelievably creamy and tasty!
Everyone I have made this recipe for, including myself, love this dish! I made it without nutritional yeast because I didn't have any at hand. I also didn't have any oyster mushrooms, but topped it off with some extra button mushrooms. It all works out well! This has become a go to recipe. Thanks Pick Up Limes!
One of my favourite recipes on your website!! Soooo tasty!!!!!!
Really easy to make & tasty!!!!
Thank you so much for all your recipes! You make eating plant-based delicious and fun, while keeping my wallet happy. I’m currently a student, so being able to eat in a way that nurtures me while keeping it somewhat cheap is a gift. This week I’ve made big batches of the Creamy Mushroom One Pot Pasta and the Coconut and Tofu Thai Red Curry. So yummy and keeping me fed for multiple days. It’s brilliant!
Excellent! Super creamy & indulgent. Straight to the point, 30 minute meal. I added all of the recommended ingredients & I am just overjoyed from a full belly. Feels great to be nourished & comforted all at once.
Thanks again Sadia & Robin
Love this recipe! It is a go to staple in our house.
Omg this was beyond delicious! I have the recipe as I was just cooking for myself + leftovers, and only had Swiss brown mushrooms - but that didn’t matter. My new fav pasta dish…but something I’ll reserve for weekends as it was quite rich (but very satisfying!)
Best creamy vegan pasta I've had! Nice with a few extra sun-dried tomatoes and olives too
This recipe is a favorite in our house. My kiddo loves it which is always a win! I love the flavors and the simplicity of the recipe. So quick and easy to make and so wholesome!
This is a bi-monthly favorite in our house! It's such a creamy and comforting meal and It's so simple to throw together with ingredients we always have on hand. I was unsure of the combination of coconut milk, soy sauce and chili pepper, but trust me- it totally works!
What are the benefits of nutritional yeast? Where in the Netherlands can I buy it in a store (AH doesn’t have it)? Is it necessary to make it a tasty dish??
I made your recipe creamy mushroom pasta turned out delicious thank you
this is one of our favorites at home! Incredibly tasty
I made this fit dinner tonight. So easy and delicious! I’m excited to play around with the ingredients in the future!
I absolutely love this recipe. On its own this recipe is amazing, but it's also a great beginner to add different things to. I'd eat this every week if my husband wouldn't complain. :)
Since the first time, this one-pot pasta recipe was published and demonstrated on a Youtube video in 2019, it became one of our most beloved recipes. We make it at least twice a month. It is easy, really no fuss, after the first time we made it we did not need written recipe anymore. We sometimes switch mushrooms, types of pasta, even spices. Great base for experimentation. Highly recommend this recipe, since even my meat eating husband doesn't feel like it is a trade of.
Thank you so much for this recipe!
It's so delicious and it's one of my favorite dishes. The combination of coconut milk and sun dried tomatoes matches so good. I like to add some more sun dried tomatoes :)
All the best from Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪
Warm, creamy, comforting! I simply adore all the ingredients and the way they come together. Whenever I cook it for friends, I have to give them the link to the recipe. Soon enough all my friends will join the PUL community.
Absolutely delicious, one of my new favourites, thank you Sadia!
Just one question: is it really 700 calories per serving?! Are there any subs we can make to help bring this down?
This is amazing!!!! I am not vegan but always love your recipes :) DONT FORGET TO COOK THE PASTA IN THE SAUCE! something i have done in the past haha ! sending love from the USA xoxo
It is so easy and super yummy! It has become one of my favourite recipes of all times 🤗
It is such a surprising combination but it is absolutely amazing.
Very nice alternative to pastas with tomatoes sauces.
This is definitely a family favourite! I have made this several times now and we all love it! You don’t taste the coconut milk or the sun dried tomatoes….they just add creaminess and tang. I make a large pot of this and 3 of us can finish the whole thing!
I love love love this recipe! My absolute favorite! It was one of the very first vegan recipes I learned to cook almost a year ago when I started eating vegan. It’s still one of my all time favorites- delicious and easy to cook, and doesn’t take too long to cook. 5/5 would recommend!
I love this dish! Whenever I cook this recipe it is always a success!
Easy and delicious 😋😋
Everyone I make this for loves it!
Love this dish!! So easy and absolutely delicious. 😋 Freezes well too.
Hey Sadia,
We don't eat mushrooms . Which vegetable will go best in place of mushroom in this dish.
thanks
This is everyone’s favorite! Never any left over when the family is over.
This is my all time favorite!!! I always make this pasta when friends come over. Almost everyone asks for the recipe, so I have been sharing this recipe for soo many times already! I am adding double the amount of spinach and mushrooms to make the pasta more “full”, but still the best recipe ever!!!!
This is my all time favorite recipe. I fell in love with this pasta dish - I love mushrooms und a creamy sauce full of flavor and my family loves it as well. Even my sister liked it, even though she was very sceptical at first, because she doesn’t like coconut milk.
Thanks for sharing your great recipes with us. Cooking vegan is so much easier with your recipes!
This recipe is now my go to when I need a quick and absolutely satisfying meal. Taught me the beauty of mixing mushrooms and creamy pasta, and now I cook it about once a week. It's also really easy to switch up if you want to try some new ingredients, since it's such a good pasta base (if you're feeling fancy, try some diced portobello mushrooms and truffle paste - it tastes amazing with all the earthy flavours!)
I LOVE this recipe!! Super quick and easy and sooooo flavourful. I have made it so many times and without a single tweak to the recipe, it's perfect as it is.
This was heavenly and so convenient to make since it only takes one pot! Really creamy, savoury, umami, just perfect.
Delicious! I made this recipe for my non-vegan family and they loved it as much as I did! The only thing I would change next time is to reduce the amount of garlic - otherwise, I can totally recommend this dish!
Let me say up front that mushrooms are my favorite food, so this was a no brainer to try when I first saw it on YouTube. I adore how simple this is to throw together and (if you have any leftovers) it keeps well and tastes just as good the next day or two. I couldn’t fine the small chili at my local store, so I have subbed it with chili flake to taste and a bit of sliced red bell pepper and it’s wonderful. I highly recommend giving this one a try!
This is absolutely one of my favorite recipes. It's also great because it comes together really quickly!!
I just moved out and this is my go-to recipe when friends come over. It's super easy and just takes 4 big steps, so you can entertain while cooking. During wild garlic season I use wild garlic instead of spinach. Everyone loved this dish so far.
PLEASE MAKE THIS RECIPE! I am telling you, every single time I make this, there is none left. Everyone in my family loves it and I just absolutely adore this recipe. It is so flavorful and delicious and I tend to make extras for my dad to bring to work the next day. I do always add extra nutritional yeast, but who doesn't love nutritional yeast?
We absolutely love this recipe and make it at least two times a month. I recommend to everyone to try it.
Sometimes we mix it up and make it with rice instead of pasta which is equally delicious.
Love this recipe🤩
This is a go-to recipe that even my non-vegan roommate loves. We have made this so many times and it's always wonderful. Sometimes if we can't find sundried tomatoes at the store we add sundried tomato pesto, which is somehow even better.
Une de mes recettes go-to, en famille ou avec des amis, elle fait toujours l'unanimité !
One of my favourite recipes, so tasty and comforting ! It holds up very well for a few days afterwards as well :)
I had really high expectations of this dish after reading so many positive comments here, but what can I say - I surely wasn't disappointed! Already looking forward to having the leftovers tomorrow and will definitely make this again.
Delicious recipe and so simple to do. I was a bit worried about the pasta being too cooked but it turns out perfect evertime.
Great meal for a pantry only meal! When I was having fridge issues I made this and now use it as a base for so many creamy pasta dishes. Easy to sub for anything you have in the fridge OR use all canned items if the fridge is running low (or broken like me).
This is an all time PUL fav of mine! I have experimented with different noodles and mushrooms and it is always delicious. This is also a meal that I've been able to prep beforehand and bring on camping trips to cook prepare over the fire or stovetop. Such a cozy meal!
I love this recipe so much! I’ve made it for my family and for my friends and they loved it as much as I do. It’s really simple, but so tasty at the same time. Can’t wait to do it again! 😋
So easy recipe!! And so so good, creamy , flavorful, delish ! Highly recommend!!
This is HANDS DOWN my favorite recipe and one that I make regularly for others - it’s always a hit! It’s delicious as is and you can make adjustments to tailor it to you. I personally add some red wine and worcestershire sauce to deepen the flavor, but there are so many great flavor combos out there!
This is hands down my favourite recipe from PUL. I cook this on weekly basis since the time I first tried. Easy to cook, full of veggies and super creamy. I add lots of mushrooms and different type of mushrooms sometimes. Good to have warm as well as cold, so perfect for taking along on one day trips too. Thankyou so much Sadia for hooking me up on this.
This is an unusual combination but a MUSTTTTT TRY! Seriously, you cannot go wrong with this.
This is seriously amazing! It doesn’t take long to make at all. And once you’ve done it a few times, it easily becomes a meal you can cook without the recipe, or add/change things if you want to.
Not to mention. The creaminess is intense. You get some serious ASMR sounds when stirring the cooked pasta. It sloshes and squelches. You know it’s delicious just by how it sounds! Yummm! 🤤
This meal is one of my favourites. It’s a hit with everyone who has tried it! Even my toddler devours this! It’s also a great way to sneak those greens in! We add chickpeas as well as my son loves them.
Honestly - if you are looking for an easy nutritious meal. Then this is the one you MUST try!
Another staple recipe for weeknight dinners!! It's solo easy and it hits the spot every time! I also load it with more veggies sometimes, like bell peppers and zucchini :)
I loooooove this one!
So easy, so gooooood!!!
Loveliest pasta recipe ever! It has even blown away my friends who were always sceptical about vegan dishes!! Highly recommend trying this pasta; the coconut milk makes it suuuper creamy. (I used a bit more liquid but I guess that depends on the pan also)
This is my favourite pasta, I cook this almost every week and my parents love it too!
This is the best one-pot pasta dish I've ever tried - and it's coming from the person who is not really into coconut milk and sun-dried tomatoes. Love it!!!!
This is my favorite pasta dish and I have it at least two times a month and love to serve it to friends and family! Thank you!
This is absolutely the best Pasta-Recipe!
Every ingredient fits perfectly to the rest and the sauce tastes like gravy <3
This is the best recipe! I return to this recipe anytime I want something comforting and easy. Soooooo many flavours and I cannot recommend this enough. Like I’m craving it just writing this review.
One of my favorite recipes ever. I make this every month (if not every week!) My boyfriend, who isn't plant-based, absolutely adores this pasta dish. Sometimes I add dried brown lentils to give the dish more nutritional value. I find it tastes even better the next day!
Hi!
This recipe looks incredible!!
Is there any substitute for the bouillon cubes? We dont have them in my country and i really want to make this recipe.
so tasty and surprisingly easy to make. Tip: let the sauce sit for a bit to let it thicken up. So good to pair with bread
I love this disk and made it several times. I have a friend who was being challenged by illnessess in her immediate family and decided to make her a meal tp take off some of the burden, even she was impressed.
Thank you a wonderful tasty dish
I made this two times and I absolutely love this!!! I added white cooking wine to the recipe and it was delicious. I do cook my pasta in an other pot because I eat gluten free pasta that has a lot of starch and it would make the sauce weird.
I tried this yesterday and it was AHMAZING. THANK YOU.
I think this was the first PUL recipe I ever made and I was convinced (that being vegan is awesome)! It's absolutely delicious and my partner who is mostly weary of vegan food enjoyed it too!
Delicious!
Thought I would leave a comment on the new website - I love this recipe and I have made it so many times for so many people! Even my non-vegan grandparents liked it (and they definitely would have told me if not :D). I would recommend lime juice instead of lemon juice, though, it makes a huge difference for me. :)
You're doing such an awesome job, it makes me really happy that so many people realize and appreciate that! Thank you for your efforts!
I have made this recipe so many times, that people associate me with it!! I make a huge Bach and freeze the rest for “homemade frozen dinners”. It’s sooooo good! You guys never disappoint
This recipe is so delicious!!!
This is one of my new favourite recipes :) it's sooo delicious Sadia!
It also works very well with 340g Jasmin rice instead of pasta :)
This has become a household staple. I LOVE this pasta, thanks for sharing!!
I LOVE this recipe! I've made it like ten times already and all my family members love it, even the non-vegans ones! I often add some artichokes and chickpeas to get a little protein. Thank you PUL xx
I'm in love with this recipe! I just finished a delicious bowl of it ad it was so so good. The coconut milk surprised me, such a great addition!
(I have a question; would this freeze well?)
I love the new website btw, both on desktop and smartphone, well done!!
A big hug from Italy ❤
This is the best pasta ever! I have made it for all of my friends and family, vegan and non vegan and it’s always a hit!
So good. I love to add Beyond Meat's sausage and it takes the flavor over the top. My non-vegan family members love it. Thank you Sadia
Just made this pasta again, comes out incredible every time. I LOVE the new website, especially the ability to cross things off and the visual plate method. Thanks for your labor of love!
Recipes like this make it easy for us to eat plant based most days of the week.
Also really enjoying your new website and it’s features. Keep the good work up 😍
Thanks from a Dutchie in Australia
Hello there ! I love your recipes. I have done this one twice already. I have one question regarding the yeast. What is the purpose of this ingredient in the recipe?
