Ingredients
- ¾ cup cashews
- 7 oz Spaghetti
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 ½ cups plant based milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp Miso paste
- 1 tsp crushed peppercorns
- ¼ cup vegetable stock
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped, to serve
- ¼ cup Vegan Parmesan to serve
Instructions
- Soften the cashews if you're not using a high speed blender. This can be done by either soaking them in water for an hour, or simmering them in a saucepan for 15 minutes.
- Cook the spaghetti according to packaging instructions, until al dente. This usually takes 8-10 minutes.
- Make the sauce. Add the cashews, nutritional yeast, salt, plant based milk, garlic powder, and miso paste to a blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth and no graininess from the cashews remains.
- Toast the peppercorns. Add the crushed peppercorns to a skillet over a medium heat and toast them for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sauce, ½ cup pasta water and stir together thoroughly. Then, add the cooked spaghetti and mix well with the sauce, until all of the pasta is coated.
- Serve immediately with chopped cilantro and vegan parmesan.
Notes
- To make gluten-free: simply use gluten-free spaghetti or other pasta of your choice.
- To store: keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 2-3 days. Reheat on the stovetop, adding extra plant based milk if necessary.
