In a large pot, cook the spaghetti noodles for 10-12 minutes or according to package instructions.

While waiting for the pasta to cook, sauté the garlic, onion, nut loaf, mushrooms, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste, plant-based milk, maple syrup, smoked paprika, pasta sauce, nutritional yeast, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and cook for 3-5 minutes.

Soak the cashews in 500 ml hot water for 30 minutes and set aside.

In a high-speed blender, add the soaked cashews, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, miso paste, plant-based milk, juice of 1 lemon, and salt & pepper to taste. Blend until you have a creamy and smooth consistency.

Spread 1 cup of the pasta sauce onto the bottom of the baking dish. Next, add some of the cooked spaghetti noodles, then 2 cups of the pasta sauce, and then pour half of the vegan cashew cheese sauce. Repeat the process until you make 2 layers. Top with more Italian seasoning.

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
