Plant-Based Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Now, let's get started!

Add your pasta to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Cook the pasta for 7-9 min (10–12 min for wholewheat) or until cooked with a slight bite

Once done, drain the pasta and return to the pot with a drizzle of olive oil

Boil a full kettle

Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat

Once hot, add your pine nuts and cook for 1-2 min or until lightly toasted

Tip: Watch them like a hawk to make sure they don't burn!

Transfer the toasted pine nuts to a small bowl and set aside for later

Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and crumble your chestnut mushrooms roughly into the pan with your hands

Add your roasted garlic paste to the pan with a generous pinch of salt, give everything a good mix up and cook for 3-4 min or until softened

Wash your spinach, then pat dry with kitchen paper

Turn the heat down to medium-high and add your creamy single oat, vegetable stock mix and the spinach to the pan

Cook for 2-3 min or until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has slightly thickened

Season with a generous grind of black pepper – this is your plant-based creamy mushroom sauce

Add the cooked pasta to the plant-based creamy mushroom sauce and stir everything together – this is your plant-based creamy mushroom pasta
