Creamy Miso Mushroom Pasta

This Creamy Miso Mushroom Pasta is a beautiful fusion of comfort food and deep, savoury flavour. It’s the kind of dish that feels indulgent and cozy, yet surprisingly balanced and nourishing. Earthy mushrooms, slow-cooked onion, and garlic form a rich, aromatic base, while miso paste adds a complex umami depth that makes this pasta taste like it simmered far longer than it did.

The oat cream brings everything together into a silky, luxurious sauce that coats every strand of pasta without feeling heavy. Finished with a touch of vegan parmesan, this dish delivers that classic creamy pasta satisfaction while still feeling light and modern. It’s perfect for a quiet evening dinner, an impressive plant-forward meal for guests, or anytime you crave something warming, savoury, and deeply comforting.
