  6. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

  7. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

  8. In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, reserved pasta water, roasted garlic, lemon juice, coconut milk, and tapioca starch. Blend on high until completely smooth.

  9. Pour the mixture into a large saucepan and cook over medium-high heat, whisking constantly until the sauce begins to thicken.

  10. Add the sautéed mushrooms, spinach, and cooked spaghetti to the sauce.

  11. Use tongs to ensure the spaghetti is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.

  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
