Notes
- If you do not have a high speed blender, make sure to soak your cashews first. Soak in boiling hot water for 30 minutes, then drain and use as directed.
- Salt your pasta cooking water for best results.
- Do not overcook your pasta. Cook according to the package directions for al dente. Pasta tastes best with a little bite, and not overly soft.
- Leftovers keep refrigerated for 2-3 days. To reheat, add some plant milk, water or broth to a skillet with the pasta, to remoisten and heat through.
