Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook pasta according to package instructions.

Toss shiitake mushrooms, oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.

Arrange mixture on parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes. Flip the mushrooms and continue baking for 7-8 minutes, or until mushrooms are crispy and brown.

Cool mushroom slices on baking sheet.

For the sauce, combine cashews, olive oil, garlic cloves, nutritional yeast, milk, lemon juice, pepper, salt, and paprika in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Drain water from pasta and return pasta to pot.

Add the sauce and stir until pasta is well-coated.
