Cashew Cream Garlicky Alfredo Sauce<br><br>
Category: Main Dishes - Pasta<br><br><br><br>
Suitable for a: vegan diet<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Ingredients:<br><br>
------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><br>
1/2 cup raw cashews (NOT roasted, salted cashews - they won't work here)<br><br>
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice (I don't measure, just a good squeeze)<br><br>
1 1/2 cups boiling water<br><br>
1 clove garlic (or more to taste)<br><br>
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil<br><br>
2 Tb. nutritional yeast (optional)<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Instructions:<br><br>
------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><br>
Pulverize raw cashews in the food processor until very fine.<br><br><br><br>
Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water. (*The BEST way to do this it to make the sauce while your pasta is cooking, scoop out 1 1/2 cups of lightly salted pasta-cooking water right from the cooking pot while pasta is cooking, and use it - the starch from the pasta-cooking water thickens the sauce PERFECTLY!) Add water to cashews and process until smooth... this will take several minutes.<br><br><br><br>
Add nutritional yeast (optional - my kids prefer it without), garlic clove, olive oil and squeeze of lemon juice. Process again until smooth, another couple minutes, it'll start to thicken a bit too!<br><br><br><br>
Salt and pepper to taste - if you think it needs it.<br><br><br><br>
Makes a decadently creamy sauce. Serve over cooked pasta of your choice.<br><br><br><br><br><br>
