Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 shallots
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 handful Baby King Oyster Mushrooms
- 2-3 tablespoon Gochujang paste
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 180 g rigatoni pasta
Instructions
- Finely mince the shallots, and slice the garlic and mushrooms. If you prefer, you can press the garlic.
- Heat some vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat, and add the minced shallots, sliced garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Cook until they are lightly browned.
- Stir in the gochujang paste and mix well with the other ingredients.
- Turn down the heat to a low simmer. Add the tomato paste and cream to the pan and stir everything together. You'll see the ingredients make a rich and creamy sauce. At this point, add salt and season to taste.
- Cook the pasta following the package instructions. Reserve some pasta water for later.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan, and mix it well with the sauce so that all the pasta is covered.
- Add in some pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
- Drizzle some lime juice, and serve with finely chopped fresh herbs of your choice and vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
