Ingredients
  

1 can young green jackfruit in water (drained and rinsed)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

300g (about 10oz) mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free)

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 cup vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk (full-fat for creaminess)

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional for cheesiness)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups cooked pasta (e.g., fettuccine or pappardelle)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Jackfruit: Begin by cutting the jackfruit into smaller pieces, removing any tough core sections. Use your fingers or a fork to shred the jackfruit and set it aside.

    Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

      Cook the Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and brown slightly.

        Add Jackfruit and Spices: Stir in the shredded jackfruit, smoked paprika, dried thyme, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, letting the jackfruit absorb the flavors.

          Create the Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for 10-15 minutes until the jackfruit is tender and the sauce thickens slightly. If desired, stir in the nutritional yeast for added depth of flavor.

            Combine with Pasta: Lower the heat and mix in the cooked pasta, ensuring every strand is coated with the creamy mushroom sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of freshness.
