- 8 ounces whole-wheat fettuccine cooked according to package instructions
Instructions
- Combine the cashews, broth, tomatoes, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until the sauce is completely smooth. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes
- I'm sure store-bought sun-dried tomatoes would work in this too, but I haven't tried it myself. If the tomatoes you buy are especially dry, let them sit in warm water for a few minutes to plump them up.
