- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 400 g mixed mushrooms sliced
- 235 g cannellini beans drained weight from a 400g tin
- 200 ml plant based cream
- 2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- black pepper
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped
Begin by heating the olive oil in a pan then add the diced onion with a good pinch of salt.
Saute the onion until softened.
Add the garlic and saute for another 2 minutes.
Next add the mushrooms to the pan and cook on a high heat for 5 minutes. This should stop them becoming soggy.
Once they have shrunk, turn the heat down and add the beans.
Next add in the herbs, nutritional yeast, cream and plenty of black pepper then stir until combined.
Season with a little more salt if required.
Once the creamy sauce has begun to bubble, take off the heat to serve.
Sprinkle over a scattering of parsley and enjoy.
