Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the pack. 
  • To make the sauce, start by heating the coconut oil over a low heat, then stir In the flour to create a roux. 
  • Remove this from the heat and pour in a little of the milk and whisk continuously to dissolve the flour mix. 
  • Return the sauce to a low heat and whisk in the rest of the milk. Bring to the boil, then reduce a simmer and continue to stir as the sauce thickens. 
  • Stir through the seasonings and nutritional yeast. 
  • Meanwhile, wash and slice the mushrooms and sauté these in a frying pan over medium to high heat and crush in the garlic clove. Cook these until golden and crisp on the edges. 
  • Once the pasta has cooked, drain the excess water and stir through the cheese sauce. 
  • Serve topped with the garlic mushrooms and dig in!
