Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4. To make the pesto, place the cashew nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the rocket, basil and cheese and whizz briefly to mix. Then pour in the oil in a steady slow stream and blend until smooth. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepperand set aside.
Place the mushrooms on a greased baking tray and spread each with about a teaspoon of pesto. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender, and serve.
