Step 2.
Add olive or sesame oil to pot, add mushrooms and cook until they start to develop a nice golden brown colour. Season with cracked black pepper mid way through cooking.
Step 3.
Add 3 tbsp soy sauce to the mushrooms and stir through, allow the mushrooms to cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the soy sauce caramelises and the mushrooms develop nice crispy edges
Step 4.
Remove mushrooms from pan and set aside. Add your pasta and stock to your pan/pot, place the lid on, bring to a boil and then remove the lid.
Step 5.
Stir the pasta regularly to prevent it from sticking.
Once the pasta is cooked, you should be left with roughly 1/3 cup of liquid at the bottom.

Add your cooked mushrooms, chopped spinach, diced cherry tomatoes, ½ tsp chilli flakes, and 1/3 cup oat cream to the pasta and stir through until the tomatoes and spinach have softened/wilted.
