Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Method
 

  1. Soak the cashews in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain well.
  2. Blend the soaked cashews with garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, pepper, almond milk, and mustard until completely smooth.
  3. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, whisking often, about 5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Toss with cooked pasta and serve immediately.

Notes

Soaking time (15 minutes) is not included in prep. If you have a high-speed blender, you can soak for just 5 minutes, but the sauce may be slightly less silky. If it thickens too much after sitting, thin with a splash of milk.
