Dear Isa, what do you think about using this sauce for the six mushroom ravioli? Do you think it would be a good combination or is it better off using a less complex sauce like with truffle oil or herbed oil of some sort? Any suggestions are gratefully received :)

I love this recipe, perfect balance of ingredients with a subtle smoky flavour from the bit of paprika and the 'nooch'. The only thing I did differently was to use only 2T of tamari instead of 3, and I found that very well seasoned. I used So Nice's 'Barista Blend' for the soy milk and that added a delicious creaminess to the sauce. Served over brown rice spaghetti and some sauteed veg, it was a great meal!
