American Moments Turns 5! Yes, it was on a cold dark pre-winter November evening (Nov 14th to be precise) in 2014 in Bluebell, Pennsylvania when the idea for American Moments was born. Now, 5 years later and after more than 222 recipes, its still going strong. I must confess, it has been an absolute challenge to find time to try new recipes, take beautiful well laid out Instagram worthy photos and post them, but I promise they will be posted more regularly. I now make a resolution for the upcoming 2020 to post at least 2 recipes per month? If I falter, please give me a jolt? I came across this super easy mushroom pasta which looked so creamy without any cheese. How incredible! Just by using flour and coconut milk, a creamy base was created. Packed with mushrooms, it is a perfect weeknight meal. Inspired by mushroom stroganaff, I had to try it and see if my vegan daughters would love it! Yes, its unbelievably quick and easy to make this pasta dish! Girls loved it !! Hv your ingredients all ready and on medium to high heat, this only takes 5 mins! The recipe below serves 4. Ingredients 250gm (3 cups) large Penne Pasta, cooked al dente 3 tbsps vegan butter 1 yellow onion, finely chopped 500gm white button mushrooms, washed and sliced 1 tbsp crushed garlic 1 tsp dried oregano 4 tbsps plain all purpose flour 200ml thin coconut or any other non dairy milk 100ml veg stock 1 tsp dijon mustard (optional) Salt and pepper per preference A sprig of thyme for garnish and a dash of black pepper/chilli flakes Method 1) Cook the penne pasta till al dente, drain and set aside. 2) Heat the vegan butter in another pot and fry the chopped onions until softened. 3) Then, add the crushed garlic, oregano and the sliced mushrooms. Fry till the mushrooms are cooked and softened. 4) Add the all purpose flour and stir fry for around 1 min. 5) Then, add in the coconut or any other non dairy milk you are using and vegetable stock. Keep on stirring till it reaches a simmer. It should be perfectly thick and creamy by now. 6) Add in the salt, pepper and dijon mustard together with the cooked pasta. Toss well. 7) Garnish with thyme and serve warm. If it thickens up after some time, add 1/2 cup hot water, stir and warm it up. It should loosen up and be creamy.
