Ingredients | Vegan Pasta Recipes
1 cup unroasted cashews
1 cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons white miso
2 teaspoons onion powder
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
black pepper to taste
8 ounces small shell pasta or macaroni
1 ½ cups arugula (Optional)
Directions
Blend cashews, broth, yeast, lemon juice, miso, and onion powder in a high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix®), scraping down sides with a spatula until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that you want it just a little saltier than usual because it's going to be poured over other ingredients.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions.
Drain, return to pot, and stir in cashew sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring, until sauce thickens a bit and everything is deliciously creamy, about 3 minutes. Stir in arugula (if using) and add more salt, if needed. Serve immediately.
If your blender's on the weaker side, no problem. Just soften the cashews first. Either soak them in water for 2 hours or boil them for 15 minutes, then drain before blending.
You can use any type of pasta: whole wheat, gluten free, etc.
