Ingredients:
- 2 cups roasted Brussels sprouts
- 2 cups shiitake mushrooms or button mushrooms
- 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1-2 tbsp honey
- Garlic salt, to taste
- 150g Konjak noodles
- 125g cooked quinoa, toasted in the oven for 5-8 minutes
Cashew Alfredo sauce:
- 200g raw cashews, soaked in hot water to soften
- 300ml coconut milk
- 25g nutritional yeast
- Salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). In a pan, combine the sliced Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. Dress them with a drizzle of sesame oil, soy sauce, and honey. Sprinkle with garlic salt and cracked black pepper. Roast the vegetables for 15-20 minutes until they become irresistibly gooey and take on a golden hue.
- While the veggies are roasting, prepare the Cashew Alfredo sauce. In a blender, combine the soaked raw cashews, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, salt, and cracked black pepper. Blend until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency.
- In a separate pan, drain the Konjak noodles and add the prepared Cashew Alfredo sauce. Gently stir to coat the noodles evenly in the luscious sauce.
- Once the Brussels sprouts and mushrooms are roasted to perfection, mix them with the creamy Konjak noodles. The combination of textures and flavours is simply divine.
- To add an extra layer of crunch and nuttiness, serve the pasta on a bed of toasted quinoa. Simply cook the quinoa according to the package instructions, then toast it in the oven for 5-8 minutes until it achieves a golden brown colour.
