In a separate pan, combine 1 cup of plant-based almond milk with 1/4 cup nutritional yeast, 1 tablespoon onion powder, and 1 tablespoon garlic powder.

Add 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 tablespoon of miso to the mixture.

If you want it thicker, add more nutritional yeast.

Add 1 cup of frozen peas and 1 cup of shelled edamame to the mixture.

Add 1/2 bag of frozen spinach to the mixture.

Stir in chickpea pasta and the cooked mushrooms.

Heat everything through and adjust flavor with more balsamic vinegar if needed.

Serve hot, optionally topping with nutritional yeast and Sriracha.
