Steps:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add olive oil (1 Tbsp as original recipe is written), garlic (4 cloves as original recipe is written), mushrooms, and asparagus. Season with a healthy pinch each salt and pepper and stir.
- Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are slightly browned and the asparagus is tender. Remove from skillet and set aside. (If you prefer more tender asparagus, cook longer. If you prefer it with more bite, cook 2-3 minutes.)
- At this time, bring a large pot of water to a boil and season generously with sea salt. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Lower heat on the skillet to low and add olive oil (2 Tbsp as original recipe is written) and minced garlic (4 cloves as original recipe is written). Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
- To a blender add remaining raw minced garlic (2 cloves as original recipe is written), sautéed garlic (4 cloves as original recipe is written), vegan cream cheese, almond milk, vegan parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, red pepper flake, and another healthy pinch sea salt and black pepper.
- Blend until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more vegan parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for cheesiness, raw garlic for zing, red pepper flake for heat, lemon juice for acidity/brightness, or salt for saltiness. Mix once more and add back to skillet.
- Heat the sauce over medium heat to warm until slightly bubbly, then reduce heat to low to keep warm. Stir occasionally.
- Add cooked drained pasta directly to the sauce along with sautéed asparagus and mushrooms. Toss to coat and enjoy immediately with additional vegan parmesan cheese. Fresh parsley would also make a fresh, colorful garnish.
- Best when fresh, though leftovers keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a bit of almond milk if it's dried out.

ASPARAGUS WITH MORELS AND TARRAGON
This dish is a French classic, a combination of strong, uncommon flavors that could have been designed to go together. Combining dried and fresh mushrooms is a reliable way to transfer the exotic flavor of truly wild mushrooms to tamer domesticated ones. Using the soaking liquid for the morels makes it certain that none of their essence goes to waste.

- Make the Risotto: Bring stock to a simmer in saucepan. Put olive oil and butter in a separate large pan, add onion and celery and cook very gently for about 15 minutes, without colouring, until soft. Add rice and turn up heat.

Add the stock to rice, one ladle at a time, stirring and waiting until it has been fully absorbed before adding the next. Turn heat down to low so the rice doesn't cook too quickly. Keep adding stock until rice has desired texture (may not need all of the stock) - rice should hold its won shape but be soft, creamy and oozy. Turn off heat, and cover while you prepare mushrooms. In a separate pan, heat a knob of butter, once foaming add chopped mushrooms and season. Toss around for 1 minute, then add thyme and garlic, toss around for a further 2 minutes. Add to risotto, stir in a knob of butter, parmesan, parsley and lemon juice and/or zest, then adjust seasoning. Plate up 4 dishes and serve. Stir in 1 egg into the remaining risotto, refridgerate. To make arancini: Allow risotto mixutre to come to room temperature, then taka a large spoonful, roll in your hand to form a ball, then place a piece of taleggio in the centre, then cover with rice to make a ball. repeat with remaining risotto. Heat oil for deep frying, lightly dust balls in flour, shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg, roll in corncrumbs, shake off excess. Cook in oil until golden brown, place 2 balls on each of 4 plates, allow to set while making side dish. For asparagus side dish: Trim ends of asparagus, steam until tender.

- Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms provide the best flavor and texture to the arancini. If using dried mushrooms, rehydrate them in hot water before using.
- Cook the Rice Perfectly: The rice should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooked rice will make the arancini mushy.
- Season the Rice Well: Don't be shy with the seasonings when cooking the rice. The rice should be flavorful on its own before adding the other ingredients.
- Use a Good Quality Cheese: The Taleggio cheese used in the filling should be of good quality and flavorful. A creamy and flavorful cheese will elevate the taste of the arancini.
- Fry the Arancini Properly: When frying the arancini, make sure the oil is hot enough to prevent them from sticking to the pan. Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Serve with a Delicious Sauce: The asparagus and lemon sauce is a perfect accompaniment to the arancini. The bright flavors of the asparagus and lemon complement the richness of the arancini.
