Ingredients
Method
- **Soak.** Cover cashews with boiling water and let sit 15 minutes. Drain, then blend with 1/2 cup vegetable broth until silky smooth. Set aside.
- **Boil.** Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- **Sear.** Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear mushrooms in batches 5 minutes each, undisturbed, until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate.
- **Aromatics.** Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining oil, cook onion 4 minutes. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds.
- **Deglaze.** Pour in white wine, scraping up browned bits. Simmer 2 minutes. Stir in remaining broth, worcestershire, soy sauce, dijon, and thyme.
- **Combine.** Off heat, whisk in cashew cream until silky. Return mushrooms and pasta. Toss with pasta water to loosen. Top with parsley and black pepper.
Notes
Do not crowd the mushrooms. Sear in batches for the best browning. Vegan swap: cashew cream replaces sour cream and heavy cream here, delivering the same tangy richness. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
