Step 1:

Heat up pan with the olive oil. Add shallots & garlic and fry for 1 min. Add shitake mushrooms and fry for another 2 min. Add vegetable broth and simmer until mushrooms are moist and plump for another 1 min. Add in green peas, curry powder, ground cumin and garlic salt. Simmer on low heat for another 5 mins.

Step 2:

In another pot, make the coconut corn cream mixture. Add in coconut milk, corn, sea salt, black pepper, mushroom seasoning and some cilantro. Simmer for 8 min until coconut milk mixture thickens and corn is cooked.

Step 3:

Spoon in all the corn and a portion of the coconut milk into the pan of cooked mushrooms. Do not add in all the coconut milk as it may over-drench the mushrooms, just add in enough coconut milk to coat the mushrooms and peas.

Step 4:

Cook the gluten free fettuccine in salted water about 10-11 mins - this will result in al-dente pasta. Toss into the pan of mushrooms and coat with creamy coconut milk sauce. Serve.
