A quick recipe for Vegan Mushroom Pasta with Spinach. This pasta dish is delicious, healthy and easy to make. It’s ready in only 15 minutes and makes a perfect simple dinner or lunch.
When I need a fast and easy meal, there are usually noodles, risotto, polenta or gnocchi with me. Preferably served with healthy vegetables, such as roasted mushrooms and spinach. I can‘t count, how many times I’ve shared this dish on Instagram already, because I really cook and enjoy this vegan mushroom pasta so often. And because it’s always very popular with you, I’ve decided to share this easy pasta recipe on my blog.
Easy vegan mushroom pasta with spinach
I don‘t have to say much about this recipe. It’s really so easy that anyone can cook it. You can make it with all sorts of pasta you love. I like tagliatelle, linguine, farfalle, spaghetti, tortellini, penne and rigatoni best – so pretty all types of existing noodles. However, let’s be honest, the best pasta is Homemade Pasta, right?
Make this mushroom pasta recipe with ravioli or gnocchi
This recipe not only tastes delicious with regular pasta, but also with ravioli or gnocchi. Whenever I make ravioli or gnocchi, I usually prepare a bigger amount and then freeze it in batches. I think it’s really handy if you always have some homemade food in stock.
Mushrooms and spinach are healthy and delicious!
There are now plenty of recipes with mushrooms and spinach on my blog. I think you might have already noticed, how much I love these healthy vegetables. Mushrooms are known to not everyone’s taste, but I think it depends on the preparation. If you cook mushrooms properly and season them flavorful, they taste amazing. If you are not convinced, then you should definitely try this recipe. After all, I’ve already got a lot of feedback, that I was able to convince some people of the opposite and they now love mushrooms and spinach too.
The toppings
The toppings are also very important for the taste because they add a great flavor to your dish, especially when you use toasted nuts or seeds. That’s why I would never omit them. I like toasted pine nuts best, but I also use cashew nuts, pecans, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Also, I like to sprinkle some Homemade Vegan Parmesan cheese on top.
This vegan mushroom pasta with spinach is:
- Healthy
- Vegan
- Dairy-free
- Plant-based
- Delicious
- Easy to make
Use your favorite ingredients
This dish is absolutely perfect if you want a healthy, quick dinner or lunch. If you don’t have mushrooms or spinach on hand, you could also add other vegetables, such as zucchini, tomatoes, pumpkin, peppers, carrots, etc., depending on what you like or have at home. Anyways, I think variety is always good. Have fun trying!
Vegan Mushroom Pasta with Spinach (easy recipe)
Author:Ingredients
- 14 oz (gluten-free) pasta of choice (400 g)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 14 oz mushrooms (400 g) sliced
- 10,5 oz baby spinach (300 g) fresh
- approx. 1/2 cup vegetable broth (or plant-based cream*)
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
- salt & pepper to taste
- 2 tsp lime juice (optional)
- parsley chopped (optional)
Topping:
- pinch of smoked paprika
- 5 tbsp pine nuts
- vegan parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions.
- Toast the pine nuts in a small pan without additional oil. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet/ pan. Add the mushrooms along with the onions and sauté for about 3 minutes until lightly browned.
- Add the chopped garlic and cook for about 30 seconds longer. Then deglaze with soy sauce and a bit of vegetable broth (or plant-based cream). Reduce the heat and cook for about 1-2 minutes longer.
- Add the spinach and cook for further 2-3 minutes until it has wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Optionally, add a splash of fresh lime juice, if you like.
- Once the noodles are "al dente", pour off the cooking water. Put drained pasta to the mushrooms in the pan and toss to combine. Add yeast flakes or vegan parmesan as desired and season with spices to taste again.
- Serve the mushroom pasta with toasted pine nuts.
- Bon appetit!
Notes
- Instead of vegetable broth you can add plant-based cream or coconut milk, if you want to make a creamy mushroom pasta.
- You can also make your own pasta with this recipe for Homemade Pasta.

Simple and flavorful
Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Added some peppers and zucchini. Delicious!
Yay, that’s great! 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it! ♡
Made this for dinner tonight, so so good! I did some modifications, I added chopped whole tomatoes and some white cooking wine. I also wanted it to stick to the pasta a little bit so I sprinkled some flour in it. Great meal and only about 40 minutes to make it too!
Thank you for sharing! I’m happy you liked the recipe! Have a great day! 🙂
I made this last week and it was SOOO good! I’ve been obsessed with mushrooms and spinach lately in an effort to incorporate healthy vegetables into every meal, and since I’m Italian and LOVE pasta recipes, this one checked all the boxes! The leftovers the next day were just as good too. Will definitely be making this a lot in the future!
That’s awesome! I am glad you loved this recipe! ♡
Thanks for sharing your feedback! 🙂
An amazing recipe! I subbed in starchy water for the vegetable broth since I didn’t have any on hand, and it worked out beautifully! Also used durum wheat pasta, for those who want to opt for a healthier option.
Hi Sonia,
So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Thanks for your lovely feedback! 🙂
Much love,
Bianca ❤
I made this and added tony chacheres cajun seasoning because I thought it was a little bland and this made it fantastic!
Sounds great! Thanks. 🙂
Easy to follow recipe. Was looking up a few other mushroom and spinach pasta recipes and I think this is the best!
I used miso dissolved in water instead of vegetable broth and it was delicious!
So glad you think this spinach pasta recipe is the best! Thank you so much for your great feedback! 🙂
Absolutely loved this, I did add a couple of extra veggies (zucchini and red Capsicum) but stuck with the rest, whole family enjoyed it, will become a regular for us thank you
So glad your whole family loved this recipe!
Thank you so much for your amazing feedback. 🙂
Lots of love,
Bianca <3
Delicious recipe and very easy to make. The first time I opted for the vegetable broth and the second time for the plant-based cream. Both were very good and I just love how you can have a totally different dish like that. The roasted pine nuts are a definite must. Super yummy! You really have to try this! I am sure you’ll love it as much as I do.
Thank you so much for your great feedback! 😊
So glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Lots of love,
Bianca ❤️
I want to try out this recipe tonight, Is there a pine nut substitute that can be used?
You can use any crushed nuts or seeds of your choice for the topping! 😊
Super leckeres Rezept. Ganz einfach zuzubereiten und super schnell.
Wird nun häufiger gekocht.
Danke 🙏🏽
Es freut mich wirklich sehr, dass dir das Rezept so gut gefallen hat! 😊
Vielen lieben Dank!
Liebe Grüße,
Bianca ❤️
I love this recipe. I’ve made it twice already and my husband and I both love it. It looks like this is going to be one of our go-to pasta dishes from here on out. Some slight variation I did was use chickpea pasta because my husband has some gluten sensitivity. I also prefer using coconut milk instead of vegetable broth for a little bit of creaminess. Thank you, Bianca!
So glad you enjoyed this recipe! Thank you so much for your feedback! ❤️
DELICIOUS. This recipe is proof that delicious food can be prepared quickly and with ease. This recipe took about 15 minutes to put together. I used broth, king oyster+shiitake mushrooms, and angel hair pasta. The lemon, nutritional yeast, and pine nuts enhance the flavor and really elevate the dish. This pasta can be made as a simple weeknight dinner at home or to impress friends at a dinner party or potluck.
So glad you love this recipe! Thank you so much! ❤️
OMG made this tonight and it was delicious so glad I made it.
So so easy to make, didn’t have pine nuts in my cupboard but it was fine going without them.
Thank you I will definitely make this dish again and again.
So glad you enjoyed this dish! Thank you! 😊
This is beautiful… Thank you so much for the recipe. Will definitely be trying this out very soon.
Lots of love ❤️
Thank you so much! Hope you’ll enjoy it! 😊
Absolutely delicious! Full of flavour despite the minimal ingredients, most of which are pantry and fridge staples! I used coconut cream and it was so creamy. I will be making this again. Thank you 😊
So glad you love it! Thank you so much 😊
This dish was amazing. I’m making it for the second time tonight. I used coconut milk the first time and really liked how creamy it was. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
So glad you love this dish! Thank you! 😊
This dish was excellent! Great flavor and so simple. I added crispy prosciutto and substituted pistachios for pine nuts 👌🏻
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much! 🙂
This was super bland, even after adding ginger and extra lime juice.

This recipe is one of my favourites! So good and so easy. I didn’t have lime so i used lemon and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing. This will be my Christmas dinner at my moms- she told me to bring our own food because we are vegan and she isn’t. I know it’s not typical Xmas food but tasty none the less.
Hi Melanie, so glad you love this vegan mushroom pasta! Thank you for your amazing feedback! I hope you enjoy your Christmas holidays! Merry Christmas and lots of love, Bianca <3
We really liked this recipe! The soy sauce was so good in it. I added a few drops of siracha too and it gave it a little zing!

Ich liebe Rezepte, die nicht viel Krimskram benötigen. Dieses hier ist damit perfekt, Nudeln, Spinat, Pilze, das wars ja quasi auch schon. Danke für dieses tolle Rezept Bianca. Mein schärfster Kritiker (mein 11-jähriger Bruder) und meine Mutter waren begeistert!
Liebe Sophia, das freut mich sehr zu hören! Vor allem, dass sogar dein kritischer Bruder begeistert war, macht mich natürlich sehr glücklich! 😀 Ich Danke dir vielmals für dein Feedback! Liebe Grüße, Bianca <3
Sehr leckeres und einfaches Rezept welches sich sogar für die camping Küche eignet. Probiert es einfach aus.
Hallo Paulina, es freut mich total zu hören, dass dir die Pasta so gut geschmeckt hat! Ich danke dir für dein Feedback! Liebe Grüße, Bianca 🙂
I just made this and it’s a delicious, light pasta dish. However I want to save most of it for later… Is this freezer friendly once it’s already made?
Hi Cara, so glad you liked it! Thank you! I would not freeze this because it’s tastes best when just made! 🙂
I was quite happy with how this turned out. Mushrooms and spinach is one of my favorite combinations and the pine nuts were a nice addition. I didn’t use any plant cream as I didn’t have any on hand, but I imagine that would be great. I did use your homemade pasta recipe and I was quite happy with how well that turned out. I will definitely be making it again!
Oh, yes! This is my absolute favorite combination too! Could eat anything with mushrooms and spinach every day! 😀 so glad to read that you liked this recipe too! 🙂 It’s just perfect when you need a quick, nourishing and delicious meal 🙂 Thank you so much for your feedback! <3
This recipe was very easy! I’m a fan of spinach pasta and mushrooms. Definitely will make this dish again.
So glad that you liked this mushroom pasta too! It’s one of my favorite recipes! Thank you for your feedback! 🙂
Quick, simple and delicious -just what we needed. Tried it last night, and will make it again! Unfortunately I couldn’t find my nutritional yeast (we recently redid our kitchen) so we had to do without the vegan parmesan, but we’ll try that next time!
Hi Titti, so glad to hear that you liked this simple vegan mushroom pasta! Thank you so much for your feedback! Let me know when you try it with vegan parmesan! I highly recommend it! 🙂 <3
I tried it yesterday evening and it just tate so good ! I recommend anyone to try it 🙂
Thank you so much! So glad you like it 🙂 <3
Perfect easy recipe! So delicious, “restaurant quality” love it!
So happy that you liked it! Thank you so much! 🙂

So happy about that! Thank you 🙂
This was absolutely delicious and so easy and quick to make, Fab for afterwork quick meal. Thank you for sharing Bianca💚💚
So happy that you liked it! Thank you so much! 🙂
Thank You for sharing such a piece of beautiful information. I hope will share some more info about the Pata tips.
Thank you. 🙂
I made this +/- some ingredients – with savoy spinach and thick-cut mushrooms, I decided they were a bit too much to chew and blended some of the onion/garlic/spinach/mushroom/etc. mix with some pasta water until nearly smooth and added back to the dish. pretty good. I didn’t have pine nuts or smoked paprika, which I think would’ve made this 5 stars. Lime juice was an excellent touch, though.
Thank you so much for your feedback! So happy that you liked it! Hope you will like it even more when adding pine nuts too! They have such a delicious flavor 🙂
Do you have the nutritional info for this recipe?
Sorry but I don’t have any because I never count calories :/
Easy, fast and delicious! I am definitely saving this recipe to make again!
So glad to that you liked it! Thank you so much! <3
Just made this and it was soooo good 😀 Was not sure about the soy sauce but it really added to the flavour instead of changing it. Also added in some smoked tofu which was delicious. Very satisfying meal :D.
So happy that you liked it! Thank you! I really love the flavor of the soy sauce when you add it to the mushrooms. Plus it makes a beautiful brown color 😉 Tofu is a great addition as well <3
This pasta was absolutely delicious and the recipe was super easy! Didn’t take long to prepare either. Definitely on my make again list.
So glad that you liked it! ? Thank you so much!
