Ingredients

  • 12 oz (340g) of your favorite pasta
  • 2 large red bell peppers
  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for 4 hours or overnight
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.
  2. Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel off the skins.
  3. While the peppers are steaming, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  4. Peel the charred skins off the peppers and remove the seeds and stems. Cut the flesh into strips.
  5. In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, almond milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and the roasted red peppers. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a large pan, combine the cooked pasta and the roasted red pepper sauce. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sauce is heated through and coats the pasta evenly.
  7. Divide the pasta into serving bowls, garnish with fresh basil, and serve hot.
