  • 5 tagliatelle nests around 160g

  • Stir through until everything is covered then taste test, add the remaining 1 tbsp of tamari on top and a sprinkle of parsley before serving

Notes

There are loads of vegan meatball options out there in the supermarkets at the moment. I've tried the Curators, Birdseye, Future Farm, Meatless Farm and they all work really well! Be sure to fry them off first before adding the cream to help get the lovely texture.
Don't have meatballs? Simply double up on the mushrooms, why not add two types such as oyster and chestnut.
