Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients:

2 cups cashews soaked for 2 hours or overnight and drained
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup nutritional yeast
¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained
¼ cup lemon juice about 1 lemon
2 cups vegetable broth

Serve With:

1 pound pasta any type
¼ cup fresh basil sliced
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions.
While the pasta is cooking, add the soaked cashews, garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, nutritional yeast, sun dried tomatoes, lemon juice, and vegetable broth to a high-speed blender and blend on high until completely smooth. When you rub the sauce between your fingers, it shouldn’t feel grainy.
Pour ¾ of the sauce over the pasta and mix together, and reserve the remaining sauce to add to leftovers or drizzle over vegetables, potatoes, or other dishes throughout the week.
Top with sliced basil and sun dried tomatoes

Notes

Make about 3 cups of sauce.

This pasta dish is best fresh. If you save leftovers, you can add the remaining sauce and additional salt, pepper, and some water when reheating.
