• Add broth, herbs, salt and mix in and bring to a boil. Mix well so that the roasted flour mixes gets picked up from the pan and mixes in. The stuck flour can cause burn error if not mixed in. (You can also add 1/2 cup soycurls/ vegan chicken here. Add a 1/2 cup more liquid for soycurls).
• Cancel saute. Add broken noodles and submerge in the mix. Add 1/3 cup water on top on the noodles to ensure enough covering liquid.
• Close the lid and pressure cook for 4 mins (manual hi pressure). Quick Release carefully after 3-4  mins.
• Add cashew cream to the noodles and mix well. Bring to just about a simmer on saute if needed. You can also add some green peas into the hot pasta at this point. Mix in half of the mushrooms.
• Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Remove noodles from the pot as the pot is still hot and will continue to cook the noodles. Mix in the mushrooms, Garnish with toasted breadcrumbs, vegan parm and parsley or basil and pepper flakes.

Notes

Alternate method: Skip the roux, use 2 1/4 cup of broth or water total. Add a few tbsp more thick non dairy cream in the end and simmer to thicken.

Oil-free: Omit the oil/butter. Saute in broth, skip the flour step, and add more non dairy cream in the end for creamier. 

Cashew Cream: You can make a large batch cashew cream and use a 1/4 cup of that. Refrigerate the remaining cashew cream for upto 4 days to use in other recipes or make cashew alfredo.
