Ingredients

Scale

Mushrooms and Bacon

  • 8 oz fresh cremini or button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 4 oz smoked turkey bacon, chopped

Sauce

  • 1 cup plant-based cream
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp natural gelling agent

Pasta and Garnish

  • 8 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp towel and slice evenly. Chop the smoked turkey bacon into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic cloves to ensure even cooking and well-blended flavors.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta al dente according to package instructions. Reserve one cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce’s consistency later.
  3. Sauté Mushrooms and Bacon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked turkey bacon and cook until crisp. Then add the garlic and mushrooms, sautéing until mushrooms release their moisture and begin to turn golden brown.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat and stir in the plant-based cream, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Add the natural gelling agent and simmer gently until the sauce is thick and velvety.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the sauce and mushrooms. Toss together, adding reserved pasta water gradually to achieve a silky, clingy texture.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the pasta for color and freshness. Optionally season with freshly cracked black pepper. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor and texture.
  • Do not skip the natural gelling agent to ensure the sauce clings properly.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency and help bind the pasta.
  • Cook sauce on low heat to maintain creaminess and avoid curdling.
  • Toast mushrooms well to deepen umami flavors.
