The dish before adding the milk.
Mix the milk and 1 tab cornstarch and set aside.
The above picture was only 1/3 of a cup of what was left because I forgot to take a picture of the cream sauce alone!! Why don't I remember these things!!
1 & 1/2 cups of plain soy milk (or milk of your choosing)
1 tab of cornstarch
8 ounces (1/2 pound) of button mushrooms sliced in half or left partly whole
1 jar of roasted red peppers
2 -3 tab of ( jar )dried red TOMATOES packed in oil
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/8 to1/4 cup of basil water (*see below in this post--optional but adds a lot of flavor)
extra cornstarch
fresh basil (a few large leaves chopped finely)
fresh oregano (3 large sprigs-remove the leaves from the 3 large stems-about 2 tab fresh?)
sea salt & pepper
Nutritional yeast (optional)
Mix the milk and 1 tab cornstarch and set aside.
In large non-stick or iron skillet spritzed with olive oil saute the mushrooms, roasted red peppers and 2-3 tab of sun dried tomatoes with some of the oil. Saute about 5 minutes on medium heat. Add the basil water and allow to simmer for a few minutes. Sprinkle the mushrooms lightly with a bit of cornstarch. Add the wine--the liquid will thicken. Add the basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Add the soy milk that has the cornstarch in it---heat while stirring . It should thicken fairly quickly. (you can add nutritional yeast if desired) Serve over pasta
*BASIL WATER---take 1 cup of boiling water and 1 cup of tightly packed basil leaves --mix and let steep in frig about 24 hours. Remove the leaves and you have a very flavorful water for cooking or to add to your drinks.
looks splendid. i'll have to remember to try it
