Ingredients
- 7 oz pasta gluten-free
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 3 portobello mushrooms sliced
- 1 can butter beans drained and rinsed
For the creamy sauce
- 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 17 oz potato peeled and chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp tamari
- ½ cup oat milk
- ¼ cup tahini

Instructions
- Cook the potatoes and the carrots for 12-15 minutes, until fully softened. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to packaging instructions, which usually takes around 10-12 minutes, draining once its ready.
- Add the onion and mushrooms to a non-stick frying pan with a splash of water and sauté for around 5 minutes, until softened. You can start doing this when the pasta and vegetables are almost cooked.
- Drain and rinse the vegetables and transfer them to a blender or food processor together with the paprika, cumin, tamari, oat milk, tahini and lemon juice. Blend until fully smooth.
- Add the butter beans to the frying pan followed by the sauce and stir for 1-2 minutes to heat it through. Then, add the cooked pasta and stir together for a further 2 or so minutes to combine before serving.
