Ingredients

  • Cashews raw– 1 cup soaked
  • Pasta– 1 pound 16 ounces.
  • Garlic– 3 cloves.
  • Water- 2 cups.
  • Nutritional Yeast-¼ cup.
  • Roasted Red Bell Pepper– ½ cup.
  • Vegan Butter– 2 tablespoons.
  • Corn flour– 2 tablespoons.
  • Seasonings as desired. This can include Italian Seasonings Mediterranean Diet Seasoning Blend, Salt, and/or Pepper.

Instructions

  • Soften your cashews using your preferred method. I use the two hour soak in hot water for this recipe. Also, prepare the pasta as indicated on the packaging.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend or process the softened cashews, garlic, water, nutritional yeast, and roasted peppers until creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides as needed and season as desired as needed.
  • In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the vegan butter. Then stir in the corn flour or choice of alternative (read packaging of alternative for proper amount to use).
  • When the flour begins to turn golden brown (three to four minutes, an alternative may not brown the same), you can blend in the red pepper sauce from the blender or food processor. Do this slowly, whisking as you go. You can add any desired seasonings here as well.
  • Continue whisking as the sauce cooks to break up any lumps. Allow the sauce to simmer (five minutes at most) and then serve with your cooked pasta.
  • Store the leftover in a closed container for up to a week.

Recipe Notes

As mentioned, because this is a vegan recipe we will use cashews instead of a heavy cream.
To soften the cashews for this recipe I like to soak the cashews in hot water for two hours.
Alternatively, some folks will boil their cashews for twenty minutes (I have not tried this) in order to soften them.
You will also need a vegan pasta.
you should make sure that your pasta is indeed vegan by reading the ingredient listing. Or, you can use a chickpea, black bean or similar kind of pasta (do read the packaging to be sure).
