Cashew cream sauce-
1 cup soaked cashews
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
1/8 -1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
Veggies of your choice:
Mushrooms
Kale
Tomatoes
Sprinkle of Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Pasta of choice (I always choose red lentil or brown rice pasta for the extra protein boost)
Cook pasta, using instructions on the package. Sauté mushrooms, tomatoes, and kale with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In this recipe, I water sautéed instead of with oil, which is my normal go to. Set that aside, to make the sauce. To a blender, add all of the sauce ingredients and blend until smooth. Place veggies on top of pasta, then add sauce. Mix until sauce and veggies are completely combined then top with red pepper flakes. And enjoy.
