Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced
6 ounces oyster mushrooms, torn into 2-inch pieces
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, trimmed of woody ends and quartered
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
One 13.5-ounce can coconut milk, such as Chaokoh
3 cups water
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
10 ounces orecchiette pasta
3 medium zucchini, cut into 1-inch dice (about 4 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup packed basil leaves, finely chopped, plus more leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a 13-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Add the mushrooms in batches and cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown before adding more mushrooms, 10 to 12 minutes total. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes. Stir together.
  • Add the coconut milk, water and nutritional yeast to the skillet. Stir together and taste for seasoning and add more salt or black pepper, if needed. Add the pasta and zucchini and stir, making sure the pasta is submerged in the liquid.
  • Cover with the lid and simmer for 12 minutes, stirring every 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and add the basil. Stir and simmer uncovered until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is al dente, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Scoop into small shallow bowls and top with more basil and black pepper.

I'm allergic to basil, so I substituted parsley instead. It worked out really well and the dish was still very flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini and mushrooms that were about to go bad, so I threw them into this dish and it turned out great!

This dish was a bit time-consuming to make, but it was worth it. The flavors were complex and delicious. I especially loved the crispy zucchini.

I'm not a big fan of mushrooms, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The mushrooms were cooked perfectly and they didn't overpower the other flavors. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less Parmesan cheese next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm a huge fan of one-pan pasta dishes, and this one is no exception. It's simple to make and always turns out delicious. The combination of mushrooms, zucchini, and basil is a classic for a reason.

Meh. It was okay, but nothing special. The flavors were kind of bland and the pasta was a bit overcooked. I wouldn't make this again.

Not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much pasta or not enough liquid. Will try again with some adjustments.

The recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and red pepper flakes to give it a little more kick. Overall, it was a good starting point, but I'll need to make some adjustments next time.

Not a fan of zucchini, but this recipe changed my mind. The zucchini was cooked perfectly, maintaining a slight crunch that complemented the tender mushrooms and aromatic basil. Will definitely make this again!
