Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 500 g baby oyster mushrooms
  • 1-2 fresh red chillies sliced
  • ¼ tsp oregano
  • 8 medium tomatoes
  • 10 leaves basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 400 g whole wheat pasta
  • 1 can cannellini beans or 1.5 cups
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Topping

  • Basil
  • Cashew Parmesan Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Start with your cannellini bean croutons. Strain and rinse your beans then place onto a greased baking tray. Season with salt, pepper and nutritional yeast and bake at 425f for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
  • Heat your olive oil in a large pan and saute your onions until translucent. Thinly slice your baby oyster mushrooms and add them in along with your garlic. Saute for a further 5 minutes.
  • Once the mushrooms have cooked down add in your oregano, fresh sliced chilies and fresh chopped basil. Adjust the amount of chilis to your spice preference or omit if you don’t like spice.
  • While your veggies are cooking, place a cheese grater inside a bowl and grate your tomatoes.
  • The end of the tomatoes may be tough to grate so just rip the remaining skin into smaller pieces.
  • Add in your grated tomatoes and season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Let the sauce simmer for 5-10 minutes.
  • Assemble your pasta by placing the sauce on top, followed by the crispy cannellini bean croutons. Add a drizzle of olive oil along with some extra basil and nutritional yeast or better yet top with some cashew parmesan cheese!
