NUTTY AROMAS
Boil a full kettle. Place the chopped walnuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-3 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove on completion and set aside to cool. Dilute the stock with 30ml of boiling water and set aside.
MMM, THAT GLUTEN-FREE PASTA!
Fill a pot for the pasta with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once boiling rapidly, add a drizzle of oil and cook the pasta for 13-15 minutes until al dente. Keep stirring for the first 3 minutes to prevent sticking, then stir sporadically during the remaining cooking time. Drain on completion, return to the pot, and toss through some oil to further prevent sticking.
CARAMELISE THE FAB FUNGI
Gently wipe the mushrooms clean with some damp cloth or paper towel and roughly slice. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, pan fry the mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until soft and golden, shifting as they colour. In the final minute, stir through the grated garlic. Remove from the pan on completion and season to taste. Cover to keep warm and set aside for serving.
PEA & BASIL PESTO SAUCE
Place the Peas in a blender with the diluted stock, Nutritional Yeast, and basil pesto. Add three-quarters of the rinsed basil (stalks should go in too!) and blend until smooth. Return the pot of cooked pasta to a medium heat and pour in the pesto sauce. Toss for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated and the pasta is coated. Season to taste and remove from the heat.
HASTA LA PASTA, BABY!
Dish up spoonfuls of creamy pesto pasta and top with the garlicky mushrooms. Sprinkle over the toasted walnuts and the chilli flakes to taste. Finish with a drizzle of cab sauv vinegar and tear over the remaining basil leaves. Time to tuck in.
