Ingredients
FOR THE PUMPKIN SAUCE:
- 1 cup raw cashews that's been soaked overnight
- 4 roma tomatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 small onion
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup unsweetened unflavored, non-dairy milk
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp coarse black pepper
OTHER AND OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
- 1 pound Your favorite type of pasta
- Fresh sprigs of time to garnish
Instructions
PREP CASHEWS:
- Soak the cashews in water (make sure they are fully submerged in water) for a minimum of one hour, but overnight is best. The longer you soak them, the creamier the sauce will be.
ROAST VEGGIES:
- Move the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 400°F.
- Add the tomatoes, onion (cut in half, peeled, and placed flat side down), and garlic (with the peel on) to a baking sheet.
- Drizzle olive oil, salt, and pepper all over the veggies and toss with your hands to ensure the olive oil and seasonings fully coat the veggies.
- Roast the veggies for 30 minutes. Then, set the oven to a low broil and broil for 2 minutes, just long enough to blacken the skin on the outside.
MAKE PUMPKIN SAUCE:
- Add the pumpkin puree, soaked cashews, roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, non-dairy milk, oregano, salt, and pepper to the blender.
- Blend on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce is nice and creamy.
- Once blended, taste to adjust the seasoning. Adding additional salt if needed.
SERVE:
- Pour over a bed of hot pasta. Toss until fully coated, then sprinkle on fresh leaves of thyme (optional).
Notes
- Is the pumpkin sauce too thick? Add additional milk of choice to help thin it out to the desired consistency.
- Are you looking for that traditional pumpkin/ fall taste? Add a pinch of pumpkin spice.
