Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic

  • 1 tsp. turmeric

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast

  • 1 cup cashews

  • 1/4 cup water

  • 1 8-oz. pkg. pasta

Directions

  • Soak the cashews for two hours
  • In a large bowl, cover the cashews completely with room-temperature or cool water. Use plenty of water because they’ll absorb some. Leave them for two hours on the counter. After 2 hours, pour everything into a strainer and drain the water.
  • Make the sauce
  • Place the drained cashews, garlic, turmeric, salt, nutritional yeast, and water in a blender. Process until completely smooth.
  • Make the pasta
  • Cook the pasta and drain it. Pour it into a large baking pan.
  • Pour the warm, cheesy sauce over the pasta and stir.
  • Bake the pasta until it is warm.
