Fettuccine Al Pomodoro

The Pasta Sauce:

• 2 cups of roasted tomatoes
• 1 cup of roasted white onion
• 4-6 roasted garlic cloves
• 1 cup of soaked cashews
• 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar
• 3-4 tbsp of lemon juice
• 3-4 leaves of fresh or dried sage
• 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast
• 1 cup of water + 1/4 of pasta water
• 2 tsp of salt or to taste

Method: Pre-heat oven to 350 F, roughly chop onions, garlic, and tomatoes. Coat them with some oil and lay them on a baking sheet (with parchment paper) and bake for 30 minutes. Take them out of the oven and let them cool for a bit. Then add all ingredients (including roasted veggies and excluding pasta water) into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely emulsified or until the sauce becomes very warm in the blender. Set aside.

The "Meat" Mushrooms

• 2 1/2 cups of shiitake mushrooms 
• 1 tbsp of garlic powder
• 1 tbsp of Italian seasoning
• 2 tbsp of avocado oil 
• 2 tbsp of lemon juice
• 1 tbsp of coconut sugar
• 1 tsp of black pepper
• 1 tsp of salt —
• The Balsamic Cherry Tomatoes
• 3 cups of cherry tomatoes
• 3-4 tbsp of balsamic vinaigrette a pinch of salt and pepper

Method: Take a large packet of your chosen pasta and cook according to packaging. While it’s boiling mix all mushroom ingredients in a bowl, lay them on a baking sheet. Do the same for the cherry tomatoes on a seperate baking sheet. Bake the tomatoes & mushrooms in the oven for 30 minutes. 
Strain the pasta and rinse with cold water (remember to save 1/4 of a cup of pasta water), so it doesn't overcook while you let it sit. 
Add your pasta sauce to a large pan and reduce down until nice and creamy (10 minutes or so). Once it starts boiling, add your pasta, and roasted mushrooms. 
Mix thoroughly and if needs more water you may add some pasta water and mix well. Turn off the heat, top this with the roasted cherry tomatoes and cilantro.
