How to Prepare Ragu With Dairy-Free Ricotta [Vegan]

Prepare ricotta the day before. Soak macadamia and cashew nuts in cold water for 4-5 hours. Drain, then add to a food processor with sea salt and water. Combine until fluffy and slightly creamy. Transfer to a jar and chill in the fridge overnight.
Heat a large sauce pan to a medium heat and add olive oil. Add mushrooms, carrot, pepper and onion and cook for about 10 minutes, until starting to soften. Add in garlic and cook for another 5 minutes, until fragrant.
Add wine and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in bay leaves, tomatoes, water, lentils, oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper and chilli flakes. Simmer for 25-30 minutes, until thick. Remove bay leaves and stir through fresh basil.
Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add in fusilli and cook according to packet instructions. Drain pasta and add to the pan of ragu, stirring gently to combine. Garnish with extra basil and spoons of ricotta.
