Instructions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil
Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice the mushrooms, trim and thinly slice the scallions (keep whites and greens separated). Peel and mince the garlic.

Step 2
Add a large pinch of salt and pasta to the boiling water. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain and set aside.

Step 3
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of plant-based butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and softened 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4
Once mushrooms are cooked, stir in the scallion whites and garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in peas and Italian seasoning.

Step 5
Whisk the cornstarch into the oat milk until fully combined. Add it to the mushrooms along with the stock concentrate. Bring to soft boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


Step 6
Add pasta, the remaining plant-based butter, and half the vegan Parmesan to the pan. Toss to coat. If needed, stir in the reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in the creamy sauce. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Divide between bowls and top with scallion greens and remaining Parmesan.
