Main Ingredients To Garnish

1. To create the cashew cheese sauce, begin by adding raw cashews to a pot filled with water. Turn the heat to high. Bring the water to a rapid boil, then immediately turn off the heat. Let the cashews soak in the warm water for 30-45 minutes, then drain.
2. In a high-powered blender, combine the drained cashews, garlic, nutritional yeast, almond milk, jalapeno, turmeric, paprika, onion powder, dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Blend until a thick sauce forms. If desired, add more almond milk to thin out the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
3. Prepare the pasta according to the package directions, cooking until al dente. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Stir in the cashew cheese sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper.
