I love creamy pasta, and I love mushrooms! This recipe is incredibly tasty and takes just 15 minutes from start to finish. I used brown rice pasta (available in Tesco) and plain flour as a thickener; the flour can be subbed for cornflour to make the recipe entirely gluten free if you're a coeliac.

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions (usually 9-12 mins).
While the pasta is cooking, fry the mushrooms and onions in 1 Tbsp olive oil for 8-10 minutes or until the mushrooms start excreting a lot of moisture. Add the garlic and stir well.
Drain the pasta and set aside. Add the nutritional yeast to the mushrooms and scatter in the flour. Stir well for 30 seconds to 1 minute before adding the plant milk and soy cream.
With a whisk, stir the mixture in the pan until it's smooth and thickened slightly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Add the drained pasta and a handful of chopped parsley. Stir well and let sit for a few minutes off the heat. Serve & enjoy!
I kept seeing pictures of summer rolls online and they looked so good I felt obligated to create my own. These are wonderfully fresh and full of vibrant flavours, served with a delicious peanut dip. This recipe could be made raw by leaving out the mushrooms.

Add the mushrooms into a pan and dry-fry until the moisture starts to come out. Add the ginger, garlic and soy sauce and saute for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl ready to add to your wraps.
Wraps
Slice all your veggies and get them ready on a chopping board or plate.
Fill a large bowl with cold water and wrap a damp tea towel around a chopping board.
Dip a rice paper wrap into the water and lay onto the tea towel. Assemble your wraps by filling in the centre of the wrap being careful not to overfill!
Wrap starting with the bottom and top, then fold over one side. Then with the bulk of the wrap in your palm and fingers tucked underneath, gently fold it over onto the other side. Lay on a plate and repeat. It might take a few attempts to get it right.. but stick with it and most importantly be patient!
Peanut Sauce
Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix. Add more water if it's too thick.
This Korean BBQ style tofu stir fry is made with tofu marinaded in a rich Korean BBQ marinade for at least 24 hours. Tofu is like a sponge and will soak up all those flavours, so it's well worth marinading at least for a few hours before. The rest of the sauce is used as the "stir fry sauce" so after marinading, there's only a few more ingredients to chuck into a wok and fry to perfection!

Add all the marinade ingredients apart from the cornflour and water into a saucepan and heat until the sugar has melted and it begins to boil.
Mix the cornflour with 2 Tbsp water in a separate cup or bowl and add the mixture into the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Cut the tofu into blocks and add to a container. Pour over the marinade and mix in well with the tofu. Refrigerate for a few hours, ideally overnight or 24 hours.
Stir Fry
Heat 1 Tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil in a wok and add the marinated tofu. Set aside any remaining sauce. Fry until browned - about 5 minutes
Add the noodles, pak choi, baby corn and mushrooms along with the rest of the sauce. Fry for around 5 minutes until the corn is tender. Serve with sliced red chilli and spring onion.
