Ingredients
- 1 cup soaked cashews
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 cups water
- pinch salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp vegan butter
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- ½ cup store-bought roasted red bell pepper
- 16 oz pasta
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients except the butter and the cornflour to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down as necessary.
- Heat a pot over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt then add the 3 tablespoons of flour. Stir to mix and let cook for 3–4 minutes until the flour is lightly toasted and a shade darker.
- Slowly stream in the roasted pepper cream, whisking as you pour so it doesn't clump up. Add the black pepper and whisk while the cream comes to a simmer. Let simmer until thickened, about 3–5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Cook your chosen pasta as indicated in the package.
- Serve the pasta with the roasted pepper cream.
- Store the roasted pepper cream in the fridge for up to a week.
