A rich, creamy, decadent cashew sauce made with fresh basil pesto for quick weeknight meals.
Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- 2 1/2 cups cashews, soaked*
- 1/4 cup miso
- 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
- 1.5 tsp salt
- juice of 1 lemon or 1/4 cup bottled
- 1/4 cup tapioca starch
- 1 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2-1 cup Vegan Pesto
Optional Pasta Topping
- cherry tomatoes, quartered
- fresh basil, thinly sliced (chiffonade)
- pine nuts, toasted
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender (i.e. VitaMix)
- Blend on high speed for 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a large sauce pan and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until thick and bubbling.
- Remove from heat and serve over pasta** with optional pasta topping.
Notes
*If using a VitaMix or other high-speed blender, there's no need to pre-soak cashews.
**Use your favorite chickpea or lentil pasta for a high-protein, whole food meal.
