Notes
- If you don't have vegetable stock on hand, you can use water to help create the sauce. Or try using homemade mushroom stock.
- You can use any type of mushroom in this recipe, just make sure they are all roughly chopped the same size to cook them evenly.
- If the sauce is drying out while simmering, add more water as the pasta cooks.
- You can top the mushroom ragu with regular parmesan, vegan parmesan or fresh basil leaves.
- Use the instructions on the pasta you use for cooking time to make sure the pasta does not overcook or undercook.
