Hi friends – I’ve been very much into pasta (specifically pasta with cashew cream sauce) lately. Maybe because it is fast and easy? Whatever the case, it is definitely vegan comfort food at its finest.
When I was younger, I loved cream of mushroom soup (you know the Campbell’s brand?) I thought this would be a cool away to bring on the nostalgia in a whole new way. Plus it takes under 30 minutes to prepare. Perfect for the whole family.
Recipe
You will need:
- Pasta of your choice
- 1-2 tbs olive oil or veggie stock
- 1/2 vidalia onion, sliced thin
- 4-5 mushrooms, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup cashews
- 1 clove garlic
- About 3/4 cup water (or more for a looser consistency)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Dash of: nutmeg
- Optional: parsley
To make:
- Cook pasta according to package.
- In a pan over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and mushrooms. Sauté until tender and cooked – I had to add a little water here and there to avoid any sticking.
- While pasta and veggies are cooking, make cashew sauce: add cashews, garlic, water, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to a blender. Run until smooth.
- Add your sauce to pan with mushrooms and onions.
- Add cooked pasta and toss until everything is coated over low heat and the sauce thickens.
- Top with parsley
- Serve!
Enjoy! xx bianca
