Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook the according to package directions, then drain it into a colander. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with a dash of olive oil so that it doesn't stick.
While the pasta cooks, place the cashews and 1/2 cup of vegetable broth into a blender with some salt and blend until smooth. Set aside.
Coat the bottom of a large pot with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place it over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic. Sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the mushrooms. Cook until they're browned on the bottoms, about 5 minutes.
Add the red wine, and simmer until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
Add the thyme/rosemary, salt, soy sauce, corn flour, black pepper and the rest of the stock. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then add the cooked pasta, peas, spinach if using and the cashew cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat. Garnish with some fresh parsley if you like. Serve.
