This rich vegan gluten free Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Pasta is perfect for date night. It has only a few ingredients, but tastes like it came from a restaurant.
I am in love with caramelized onions. If they cooked faster, I would probably make them more often. Their rich flavor takes ordinary dishes to a whole new level. I used them in my Caramelized Onion and Spinach Vegan Quesadilla, which I ended up making several days in a row.
Sometimes the simplest meals are the best ones. That is the case here. This Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Pasta is super easy to make.
Yes, it takes some time to caramelize the onions, but man is it worth it. I added nutritional yeast because it has a cheesy taste (vegan replacement to parmesan).
Red wine adds another flavor dimension. Mushrooms go well with caramelized onions, but I can see other veggies going in here too. Experiment and play with your pasta!
