- Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet in well-salted water. While it cooks, prepare the creamy red pepper sauce.
- Make the Sauce: Blend all the sauce ingredients (except the basil) until smooth.
- Cook the Mushrooms: Heat a non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot, add the chopped mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes, stirring regularly. When the mushrooms start to brown, add the tamari and stir quickly to coat. Remove from the heat.
