Servings 8 serving

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz Cavatappi pasta(or pasta of your choice) or Gluten Free Pasta
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 8 cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 2-3 cups Swiss chard or spinach, chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 4 tbsp flour or gluten free blend
  • 1 tsp poultry season
  • 2 tsp thyme
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes(adjust to your preference)
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of well salted water to boil and cook your pasta according to directions on the package. Stop short by about 2 minutes as the pasta will continue to cook in the the sauce.
  • In a large stock pot, water saute the onions and garlic. Add the mushrooms and allow to brown for about 3-4 minutes. Add water as needed to ensure they don't burn.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir and cook the flour for a couple of minutes. Continue to stir. Add the vegetable broth and stir well to incorporate everything(you can use a whisk to get out any lumps) Continue to stir as the sauce thickens. Add in the spices and nutritional yeast at this time. If you have any lumps again you can use a whisk to get rid of any lumps.
  • Drain your pasta and do not rinse, add directly to the sauce and then add the chopped swiss chard and allow the swiss chard to cook down 3-4 minutes. Adjust your seasoning. This would be also great with vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast on top.
  • ** Instead of adding flour you can substitute a corn starch slurry by mixing 3 tbsp of corn starch and 6-8 tbsp of water. After adding the vegetable broth and allowing everything to cook for a few minutes but before you add the pasta. Bring the mixture to a low simmer and add the slurry and allow the mixture to thicken and then add the pasta and swiss chard
    You can substitute Gluten Free Pasta to make this Gluten Free
