A lovely, deliciously creamy and tasty mushroom carbonara with roast celeriac and garlic – it’s super smooth with no dairy, oil or nuts but still dreamy.

Creamy Celeriac, Roast Garlic and Mushroom Carbonara | Rebel Recipes (2)

I love this deliciously creamy, tasty sauce made with roast celeriac and garlic – super smooth with no dairy, oil or nuts but still encases the spaghetti beautifully.

I reserved some of the roast celeriac to top the spaghetti along with the roast onions and sautéed mushrooms.

It’s absolutely packed with flavour and would make a wonderful Valentine’s or celebration meal.

I hope you enjoy this, much love. Niki xxx

      I really loved the idea of this dish and was excited to try it, but I was honestly disappointed. I didn’t think it tasted very well and was somewhat bland.

      Thank you for this creative use for celery root which I had in my organic produce bag this week. The sauce made a large amount, and was very thick (I used unsweetened oat milk, which is what I had), so I thinned it quite a bit with the pasta water. I’m going to try and freeze the leftover sauce, I think it would be a nice addition to thicken a soup. Any other suggestions? Overall a very rich, tasty and satisfying dish.
