Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2/3 cup hot water, plus more as needed
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional)

Method
 

  1. Add the cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and hot water to a blender. Blend on high for 1 minute, or until completely smooth.
  2. Check the consistency; if too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons more hot water and blend for 30 seconds. Taste and add more salt if desired.
  3. Pour over hot pasta and toss to coat. Serve right away.

Notes

If your blender is not high-speed, soak cashews in hot water for 15 minutes, then drain; this time is not counted in prep.
