  2. Add a little olive oil to an ovenproof vessel along with the chopped onions and put them in the oven for 8–10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, grate the sweet potatoes and the tomatoes. (The sweet potatoes should be finely grated, and the tomatoes shredded on the side with larger holes.)
  4. Add the spinach, olive oil, spices, paste, salt, and pepper to the grated vegetables and mix well.
  5. Remove the ovenproof vessel from the oven and add the vegetable mixture.
  6. Spread the mixture throughout its surface and return the ovenproof vessel to the oven, baking for about 15 more minutes.
  7. Boil water in a medium-sized pot.
  8. When the water is boiling, add the fresh vegetable fusilli by Mama Irene Pasta and boil for just 3 minutes, timed from the moment the boiling restarts.
  9. 3 minutes later, remove from the heat and strain.
  10. Add the contents of the cans and the grated cheeses to a mixing bowl and mix thoroughly.
  11. Then, after the 15 minutes of baking have passed, remove the ovenproof vessel, and mash the vegetables with a fork or an immersion blender.
  12. Add the vegetable fusilli and mix well with the mashed vegetables.
  13. Finally, add the coconut cream and cheese mixture and spread with a spatula to cover the whole surface. (You can add more cheese if you want.).
  14. Return the ovenproof vessel to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cream turns a golden brown.
  15. Enjoy hot. You can add chopped parsley if you want.
