Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup fresh water
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp onion powder

Method
 

  1. Soak cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain.
  2. Blend cashews, 1 cup water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and onion powder until smooth.
  3. Cook pasta, reserve ½ cup pasta water, then toss hot pasta with the sauce and a splash of the water over low heat for 1 minute. Serve warm.

Notes

If you skip the soak with a high-speed blender, the sauce still comes out smooth. For a thinner sauce, add pasta water a tablespoon at a time while tossing. The nutrition facts are for the sauce alone, not including the pasta.
