For the mushrooms

  • 250 g mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tbsp capers
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • pinch of salt & pepper to taste
  • 100 ml white wine

For the creamy mustard sauce

  • 50 g cashews
  • 80 ml almond milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 1 tsp salt

For the rest of the dish

  • 200 g tagliatelle
  • fresh thyme
  • extra lemon wedges

Method

  • Start by adding the cashews to a pan of boiling water on the hob and leave to soften whilst you make the pasta.
  • Heat the dairy-free butter and oil in a large frying pan. Once melted, add the garlic and mushrooms, and cook for a few minutes. Next, add in the capers, thyme, salt and pepper. Stir on medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Add in the white wine and stir until all the liquid has gone. Add in the lemon, stir, and turn the heat down low.
  • Put the tagliatelle on to cook.
  • Drain the water from the cashews then add them to a blender with the almond milk, olive oil, nutritional yeast, wholegrain mustard, lemon juice and salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Once the pasta is done, drain, leaving some pasta water back. Then add the pasta to the mushrooms along with the cashew cream, and a little pasta water if needed. Stir everything well so the sauce has coated the pasta and mushrooms.
  • Serve with fresh thyme and lemon wedges.
