Goat cheese is a natural cooking cream that can be used as a sauce in just about anything! In this goat cheese recipe, we’ve added sautéed mushrooms and fresh herbs to a roll of soft Okanagan goat cheese for an ultra-creamy pasta sauce.
Ingredients
- 200 grams gluten-free spiral pasta
- 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 cremini mushrooms, sliced
- Pinch sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 150 grams Happy Days Dairies Soft Okanagan Goat Cheese Garlic and Parsley
- 2 tablespoons water
- 4 large basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts, optional
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, add olive oil to a frying pan and set to medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms, sea salt and ground pepper. Sauté for 5 minutes, until mushrooms are softened.
Add cheese and water. Stir until combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Fold in cooked pasta and chopped basil.
Sprinkle each portion with toasted pine nuts, if using. Enjoy!
