Instructions: I made this last week. I thought it was great, but Josey thought the combination of mushrooms and broccoli wasnt ideal. Then again she complains if I put mushrooms in anything.-) The cashews could be replaced with some soya milk or tofu if youre trying to keep the fat down.

Fry the onion and the garlic in some water until tender. Add the mushrooms, the vegetable stock, the salt, pepper and sage. Leave simmering until the mushrooms have reduced.

In a blender combine the chopped broccoli stalks, the kidney beans, the chopped leeks, and the cashews. Blend until smooth, adding water if needed.

Add the blended mixture to the mushrooms. Add the broccoli florets and any additional water needed to give a creamy consistency. Simmer till the florets have softened.

Serve over pasta twirls. On this occasion I used Orgrans Barley and Spinach (wheat free) pasta.
