Porcini Mushroom Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e Pepe is traditionally pasta made with parmesan cheese and black peppercorns plus either butter or olive oil. We have kept the black peppercorns and offered vegan parmesan as an option, but truthfully, the porcini cashew butter gives this dish so much flavor that you may decide to enjoy it without the parm! This dish demonstrates the versatility of mushrooms. Whether they’re blended versus whole or baked versus sautéed or enjoyed solo versus part of an elaborate dish, they have so much to offer!
