Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions (8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat vegan butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for about 4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Incorporate sliced baby bella mushrooms, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften and release their juices.
- Add another tablespoon of vegan butter and allow it to melt completely. Sprinkle in spelt flour, stirring for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes sticky. Gradually pour in soy milk, whisking continuously until creamy and smooth (3-5 minutes).
- Stir in dried oregano, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to taste. For a kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix well for about 1-2 minutes.
- Fold in frozen peas and drained pasta into the creamy sauce, stirring gently. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until warmed through and peas are bright green.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Add extra salt, pepper, or cayenne to enhance the flavors.
- Spoon generous portions onto plates and garnish with dried oregano or crushed red pepper before serving.
