Method:<\/p>\n

To make the sauce, pop all of the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth and creamy.
\nCook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet.
\nWash the mushrooms and thinly slice. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add in the crushed garlic.
\nPour in the mushrooms and saut\u00e9 these until golden and crisp on the edges. Slice the sun dried tomatoes into small pieces and add these into the pan also.

\nServe topped with the remaining veggies and extra sauce if you desire. Garnish with some herbs and black pepper. You can also add some vegan cheese here if you have some.<\/p>\n
