Heat up the vegan butter and oil in a big skillet over medium-high heat. Process the mushrooms in a food processor until they're chopped and add them to the skillet.

Cook while stirring often until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
Add garlic, fennel, and crushed red pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, until it becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, and another pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened to desired consistency, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve over pre-cooked pasta.
