Roasting King Oyster Mushrooms
- Cut the king oyster mushrooms into ½ inch rounds. Using the tip of a pairing knife make score marks on the mushrooms, creating diamond shapes.

- Cook until golden brown, then flip and continue to cook until both sides are golden brown. Set aside.
How to Make Vegan Scampi Sauce
- Thinly slice the shallots and garlic.
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp of olive oil to the pan, sauté the shallots and the garlic until they are translucent and become tender.
- Add the white wine to the shallots, cooking for only 1 minute. Turn off the heat.
- Cook the pasta in boiling water seasoned with salt. Cook until al dente, reserve ¼ cup pasta water.
- Place the cooked pasta into the sauté pan with the sauce, turn the heat to medium-low, start to toss the pasta with sauce, add the vegan butter and a ¼ cup of the pasta cooking water. Continue to stir and emulsify the sauce.
- Add the king oyster mushrooms to the pasta, continue to stir, and work the sauce.
- Finish the sauce by adding the zest of 1 lemon zested on a microplane grater, chopped parsley, ½ of a lemon juiced, and a dash of olive oil. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
