Ingredients:

1 cup broccoli
90g
2 cups mushrooms
140g
1 onion
110g
4 garlic cloves
12g
16 oz whole-wheat pasta
450g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
40g
1/2 tsp dried basil
0.70g
1/2 tsp dried oregano
0.90g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 cups almond milk
480g
1/4 cup cashew
33g
1 tbsp yeast
8g
5 tsp miso
30g
1 tbsp cornstarch
8g
1 tsp paprika
2.10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the whole-wheat pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Vegetables: While the pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water or oil, then add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
4. Cook Broccoli and Mushrooms: Add the broccoli florets and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms release their liquid and the broccoli is tender, about 7-10 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper.
5. Prepare Sauce:
- Soak Cashews: If you haven't already, soak the cashews in hot water for at least 15 minutes to soften.
- Blend Ingredients: Drain the cashews and blend them with the almond milk, nutritional yeast, miso paste, and cornstarch in a blender until smooth and creamy.
- Cook Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
7. Transfer to Baking Dish: Lightly grease a large baking dish. Transfer the pasta and sauce mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the dried basil, dried oregano, and paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
10. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Broccoli Mushroom Casserole!

Tips:

- For an extra creamy sauce, you can blend the cashews with the almond milk until smooth before adding to the casserole.

- Feel free to add other veggies, such as bell peppers or spinach, for added nutrition and flavor.

- To save time, you can use pre-cut broccoli and pre-sliced mushrooms.

- Make sure to cook the pasta al dente, as it will continue to cook in the oven.

- If you like a crispy topping, you can mix the bread crumbs with a little olive oil before sprinkling on top.

Enjoy your freshly baked Vegan Broccoli Mushroom Casserole, a comforting and delicious plant-based meal. This casserole is perfect for family gatherings or a simple, satisfying dinner. With its rich and creamy texture, it's sure to become a favorite in your household.
