A nourishing and flavorful vegan pasta dish featuring a creamy cashew sauce paired with fresh spinach and herbs.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bulb Garlic, top sliced off
  • 1 ½ cups Cashews (soaked for 6-24 hours or 1 hour in boiling water)
  • 1 ½ cups Vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup Nutritional yeast
  • 1 cup Spinach
  • 1 bunch Parsley
  • Juice from ½ Lemon
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • 3-4 servings Pasta of choice, cooked

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking dish by placing the bulb of garlic inside, with the top sliced off. Roast the garlic for about 40 minutes, or until soft and caramelized.
  2. While the garlic is roasting, soak your cashews in water for 6-24 hours or boil them for 1 hour until softened. Drain them before use.
  3. Once the garlic has finished roasting, remove the cloves from the bulb and place them in a blender. Add the soaked cashews, vegetable broth, nutritional yeast, spinach, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the blender.
  4. Blend everything until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Toss the creamy sauce with your cooked pasta, ensuring all the noodles are well-coated. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

Soak cashews for creaminess. Fresh ingredients enhance flavor intensity.
