300g Coop linguine
1 tbsp Coop olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
250g Coop closed cup mushrooms, thinly sliced

1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp dried rosemary

1 vegetable stock cube, crumbled
300ml unsweetened almond milk

Method
Cook the linguine according to the pack instructions
Reserve a mugful of the cooking water, then drain into a colander and leave in the sink, occasionally rinsing with cold water, so it doesn’t stick to itself
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 5 mins, until soft
Increase the heat slightly, add the mushrooms and fry for 3 mins or until golden, then add the garlic, black pepper and rosemary and cook for another 2 mins
Transfer to a plate and set aside
Put the cauliflower, stock cube and milk in the pan and bring to the boil, then simmer for 6-8 mins or until the cauli is tender
Use a stick blender to blitz into a smooth sauce
Add the mushroom mixture and simmer gently until the thickness of double cream
Add 4 tbsp of the reserved pasta water and fold in the cooked pasta
Heat for 2 mins, scatter with parsley then serve
