Vegan Creamy Mushroom Stroganoff made with Pumpkin Puree and Coconut Milk. This is the Perfect Weeknight Dinner Recipe. Add Rice or Pasta and Make this a Hearty Recipe. Made in Under 30 Minutes (Version 2)

Pumpkin recipes are all over the internet lately.

This means that Pumpkin season is here?

But, I always feel that pumpkin never leaves our consciousness.

As far as I am concerned, its ALWAYS pumpkin season!

This week, its all about pumpkins! I have 3 recipes planned for pumpkin week that you will absolutely love!

First up, its this pumpkin mushroom stroganoff made with coconut milk and tomato sauce. Its much more fun to add pumpkin into a pasta recipe than I thought. I have always used it in soups like this pumpkin soup or into a pumpkin dip.

Next, I will bring you a pumpkin smoothie which is just magnificent! Also, I plan to ramble on about not making it to all the books my summer reading list. It should be a fun read, so, be sure to come back for it.

The last recipe in pumpkin week is actually about my favorite way to store pumpkin puree and use it all year round. I think you will appreciate how easy it is to make.

But, for now, let’s talk about this creamy mushroom stroganoff.

Have you noticed that I have made so many mushroom recipes on this blog? Subconsciously, I have been craving them lately and no idea why.

If anyone knows why I am so obsessed with mushrooms, please enlighten me.

During the week, when things get so busy or you are late getting home because of bumper-to-bumper traffic, I think you will appreciate quick and easy dinners.

That theme was on my mind when I made this recipe, so, I made sure that it was ready in 30 minutes. If you want to save even more time, buy pre-sliced mushrooms for this recipe. I used button mushrooms, but, you can get creative and use different types. This photo has button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, portobello mushrooms and shitake mushrooms

I added pumpkin puree because its faster. However, if you do have the time, I think making your own pumpkin puree from scratch would make this creamy mushroom straganoff taste even better.

To make pumpkin puree, preheat oven to 350°. Wash and cut a pumpkin into half. Remove all the seeds and strings. Very lightly oil the inside of the pumpkin and then cover with foil. If you have left over pumpkin puree, check out how I like to preserve the leftover pumpkin puree.

Place in oven for 65 minutes or until the insides are very tender. Remove and let it cool before scraping the insides and placing them into a blender and blend until pureed

For the pasta, I have to tell you something funny. When I was deciding on making this recipe, I intended to use only farfalle pasta. However, when I went to make it, I realized that I didn’t have enough of it.

So, I decided to add (affiliate link) ridged elbow pasta left over from my easy weeknight pasta recipe and turns out, I didn’t have enough of that either. After I chuckled a little, a lightbulb went off in my head.

Why not use both in this recipe? It can’t be that bad, right?

And, I am am delighted to tell you that it was so delicious. I think the farfalle appealed to the adult me and the elbow pasta appealed to the kid in me.

You can use any pasta you want for this recipe. Its common to use it on top of linguini or spaghetti.
