Instructions

To prepare sauce, drain and rinse soaked cashews. With the food processor turned on, drop in your garlic cloves and process until chopped. Add in the rest of the ingredients and process until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.
Sautée mushrooms until browned. In the last 3 minutes, add the pickle juice - it’ll accentuate the mushrooms’ woodsy flavour!
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt gently. Cook asparagus for 5 minutes, until it retains some of its bite. Remove asparagus from water and place into an ice bath immediately.
Add salt, and boil pasta in same pot according to package instructions (5-8 minutes, depending on the type of pasta you’re using). Remove from water and drain.

If baking into a pasta bake:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In an oven-safe dish combine pasta, mushrooms, asparagus and sauce. Sprinkle with grated vegan cheese and nutritional yeast.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.
