Easy Creamy Cilantro Penne (Vegan)

So very simple.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 8  ounces penne, boiled and drained
• 1  medium  white squash or 1  medium zucchini
• 5  medium mushrooms, sliced thin (I like crimini)
• 1⁄2 bunch fresh cilantro, rinsed, drained, chopped
• 1 -2  garlic clove, minced
• 2 -3  tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
• 1  tablespoon  dark sesame oil
• 1  tablespoon  fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1  pinch  dried  red chili pepper flakes
•  salt

Directions

1. Boil penne, drain, set aside.
2. On med-hi heat in a deep skillet, add the sesame oil and garlic and sauté for about a minute--just long enough for the garlic to infuse the oil.
3. Add squash and mushrooms, sauté for about 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water if necessary for the veggies to cook properly.
4. Besides the penne, add the rest of the ingredients and stir into a sauce. Let simmer for about a minute. Add penne and stir.
5. Devour!
