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

      Delicious. I cooked the mushrooms with garlic salt and smoked paprika, and added red pepper and peas . Definitely will be making again.

      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.

    FAQs

    Why do chefs love celeriac? ›

    What is celeriac called in America? ›

    Celeriac (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum), also called celery root, knob celery, and turnip-rooted celery (although it is not a close relative of the turnip), is a variety of celery cultivated for its edible stem or hypocotyl, and shoots.

    Is celeriac good or bad for you? ›

    It is a plentiful source of vitamins C and K, which can help support heart and bone health. Celeriac may also help prevent type 2 diabetes, although more research is necessary to confirm this. People who are looking to achieve or maintain a healthy body weight can choose celeriac as a low carb alternative to potatoes.

    What pairs well with celeriac? ›

    Cream: Celeriac can be paired with cream for a rich and creamy side dish. Meats: Celeriac can be paired with meats such as bacon, sausage, ham, and chicken. Nuts: Celeriac can be paired with nuts such as hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts for added texture and flavour.
