Creamy lemon and mushroom pasta

When I first tasted a lemon pasta a few years ago, I was instantly a fan! This exquisite lemony taste and all that creaminess combined with one of my favorite foods of all time - pasta. Over time, I have made different versions of this pasta. Sometimes I add white beans, sometimes mushrooms or just make a simple creamy sauce with grated lemon zest. But white mushrooms really fit here. I really don't know a person who doesn't like a creamy lemony pasta. This dish will definitely win some hearts (my dad is a huge fan!)

serves 2-4 people

Preparation time: 20 minutes.

• 3 Tbsp oil
• 2 onions
• 2 cups / 150 g white mushrooms 
• 1 tsp salt
• a pinch of ground black pepper
• ½ tsp dried thyme
• freshly grated lemon zest of one lemon
• juice of ½ lemon
• 1 cup / 250 ml vegan cooking cream (I used Alpro Soya) or make your own!
• + freshly boiled pasta for serving (I used penne)

When you start making the sauce, I recommend to boil the pasta at the same time. For the sauce: heat up some oil on a pan. Add finely chopped onions. Cook for a couple of minutes until slightly golden brown. Add chopped mushrooms. Cook for a minute. Add salt, pepper, thyme and grated lemon zest. Cook for a minute. Add lemon juice and cream. Let it simmer on a medium heat for a couple of minutes. Serve right away with freshly boiled pasta!
