M...eat...less
I have always wanted to try my hand at a cashew cream sauce. I figured
no better time than the present since this month is all about recipes that are
vegan and vegetarian. This pasta was really hearty and flavorful. A new
favorite way to sue cashews.
Coconut milk and cashews is the way to get a nutty sweet creamy pasta
dish without any milk or cheese. You can make this vegan by using eggless pasta
or u can use your favorite pasta and toss the sauce in there. I used a vegan
pasta made from chic peas for the video. Unfortunately, I hated the taste of
the pasta. I prefer the taste of regular degular pasta for my cashew cream
sauce.
Toasting the cashews is up to you. I find toasted but bring out the
deep nutty flavor in them. Cashews tend to be on the subtler side, so I highly recommend
toasting it for a nuttier taste. Overall the sauce is very nice, If you don’t mind
cheese this would make a cream base for a cashew cream mac n cheese…worth a
try!

Greedy Tips
- If you want a smoother consistency of the sauce and not a grainy nutty one, you can toast the cashews then soak them in the coconut milk overnight then add them both to the saute onions and spices then blend.
