1

Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
2

Blend the cashew cheese sauce. Add all ingredients for the cashew cheese sauce (raw cashews (1 cup), nutritional yeast (0.25 cup), crushed garlic (0.5 tsp), lemon juice (1 tbsp), sea salt (0.25 tsp), black pepper (0.25 tsp), water (7 tbsp)) to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
3

Sauté the veggies. Add onion (1 medium) (chopped) and crushed garlic (1 tsp) to a pot along with olive oil (1 tbsp) and sauté until softened. Add dried basil (1 tsp) and soy sauce (1 tbsp) and stir in. Now add button mushrooms (5 cups) (sliced), zucchinis (8 small) (sliced) and frozen peas (1.5 cups) and sauté together for 1 minute. Cover the pot and let the veggies simmer for a few minutes. They will become saucy due to the mushrooms releasing their water. Remove the lid and let the water cook off until only a little remains.
4

Mix the sautéed veggies and cashew cheese sauce. Stir the cashew cheese sauce in with your veggies. Let it cool slightly and then transfer to a 9-inch round pie dish.
5

Roll out the crust. Roll out your vegan puff pastry (1 sheet) so that it's wider than your pie dish, with a little room to spare. Place the puff pastry over the top of your veggie filling and push the pastry into the sides of the dish, folding the pastry along the edges.
6

Brush with melted vegan butter. Brush the top of the crust with [melted vegan butter] and cut a vertical line a couple of inches long, in the center of the pastry.
7

Bake. Place the pie into the oven and bake for 25 minutes until golden on top.
