Ingredients

  • 400 g spaghetti - I used gluten-free because I had to
  • 1 pound of oyster mushrooms
  • Olive oil cooking spray
  • 4 tbsp of olive oil - divided
  • Pinch of chili flakes
  • 1 small onion - diced
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • 1 cup walnuts - chopped
  • 8 cremini mushrooms - sliced
  • 1 tbsp miso
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter
  • ½ cup cooked navy beans
  • Handful of spinach
  • ½-¾ cup pasta water
  • Vegan parmesan cheese
  • Sea salt and cracked pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC and place parchment on a baking sheet. 
  • Boil water for pasta and salt liberally (1 tbsp). Cook pasta till al dente and reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • Separate mushrooms if clumped together and trim the hard ends of the stem.
  • Place on the baking sheet and spray with olive oil. Grate vegan cheese over the mushrooms and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 2 tbsp olive oil and chili flakes in a large dutch oven or a pan with sides. Add onion and cook for several minutes. Add in garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  • Add cremini mushrooms tossing to coat. Allow the mushrooms to cook down before seasoning.
  • Add vegan butter, walnuts, and miso mixing everything together.
  • Add in white beans, spaghetti, and ¼ cup of pasta water. Toss everything together adding more pasta water as needed.
  • Add spinach and allow for it to wilt down before adding more cheese and the remaining olive oil.
  • Check for seasoning. Add a good amount of cracked pepper and salt if needed. Finish the dish with baked oyster mushrooms.
