Don’t Make Carbonara the old way… It’s time to end the egg, use tofu instead, its better, tastes awesome, comes out creamier, richer, and better. AND using these mushrooms, I know I made em smokey, but its good, you don’t need to add the smoke if you want a closer flavor, but this NEW Carbonara is how it should be made…

Vegan Carbonara
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 cup yellow plum or cherry tomatoes any yellow small variety will work
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 pinch kosher Salt
- 1/2 block silken tofu
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp mushrooms seasoning
- 1 tsp Lactic Acid You can also use the liquid from sauerkraut
- 1/4 tsp Black Salt / Kala Namak
- 1/4 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
Mushroom pancetta
- 2 large Portobello mushroom caps
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Liquid Smoke
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 2 Servings Pasta of choice
Instructions
- Start with tomatoes in a bowl and add the tsp of olive oil, pinch of salt, and toss them into the oven or air fryer at 400º for about 10 minutes
- Add everything else except the 1/4 cup of olive oil for the sauce into a blender, a when the tomatoes are done add them as well.
- Blend on slow speed until smooth, then slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify into a creamy sauce. You will have extra!
- Slice your mushrooms very thin and toss into a bowl with the remaining ingredients (not the pasta)
- Get a pan hot with a little olive oil toss the mushrooms in and cover with water (just enough to cover the mushrooms)
- Let mushrooms boil until all the liquid is boiled out
- Start your pasta and cook until just under al dente
- once the shrooms are almost done turn the heat down, let the water boil out, add a touch of olive oil
- then quickly transfer the almost done noodles (saving the starchy water) into the pan then cover with enough sauce to coat the pasta.
- While tossing the pasta add enough pasta water to make the sauce creamy and shimmery. Plate and enjoy!
