Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • circa 220g g Spaghetti (enough for 4)

For the sauce:

  • 4 tsp garlic infused olive oil GOO
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • Generous pinch sea salt (circa 1/4 tsp)
  • 4 tbsp teff flour
  • 100-200 ml water depending on consistency
  • 1 tbsp nutritional yeast optional

The rest:

  • 1 tsp garlic infused olive oil GOO
  • 350 g oyster mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh chives washed and chopped
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Couple handfuls fresh spinach

Optional, to top

  • Pinch nutmeg
  • Fresh chives/parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Make pasta as per manufacturers instructions *use gluten-free if desired
  • In a non stick frying pan add 1 tsp goo, the chives, mushrooms and a pinch of sea salt. Fry on a medium heat, circa 10 mins, stirring occasionally
  • In the meantime put 4 tsp goo in a milk pan on a low heat. Add the teff and stir vigorously. Once the flour is mixed in slowly add the canned coconut milk stirring continuously. Finally add a generous pinch of sea salt. If necessary add water, until you reach desired consistency. I used circa 125ml. Optional, stir in 1 tbsp nutritional yeast.
  • Add 1 tbsp sherry to the mushroom pan to deglaze
  • Add the cooked mushrooms to the sauce and mix well
  • Put a couple of handfuls spinach in the same frying pan you used for the mushrooms and stir until wilting. (Less cleanup is always good!)
  • Divide your spaghetti into 4 bowls add the spinach
  • Pour over the sauce with mushrooms (either mix in or serve on top)
  • Optional: Sprinkle with fresh parley/chives and a pinch of nutmeg
