Ingredients
250g dried spaghetti
4-5 portobello mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, diced
3-4 cloves garlic, diced
10 cherry tomatoes, halved
Pesto:
1 C baby spinach
2 C basil leaves
1/3 C walnuts
¼ C hemp hearts
Juice of 1 lemon
Pinch pink salt and cracked pepper
¼ C EVOO
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast
Method
Place all pesto ingredients into a food processor and blend until combined. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, add the spaghetti and cook for 10 minutes, or until al dente.
Bring a medium-sized fry pan to medium heat with a little evo. Fry the onion and garlic until soft and translucent. Add the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes and cook for a few minutes, stirring to combine.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain reserving a little of the pasta water. Add drained pasta to the fry pan and fold through the pesto.
Add a little pasta water to loosen if required. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
