Effortless Cashew Pasta

Your days of relying on boxed mac 'n' cheese for a quick pasta meal are over! Now all you have to do is just blend 5 simple ingredients while your pasta boils and voila! You got yourself a nutritional, tasty, and quick meal! Yes, having a meal with all three of these elements is possible. Why don't you just see for yourself...

Ingredients

Sauce

• 1/3 cup cashews

• 1 Tbsp nutritional yeast

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1/4 tsp onion powder

• water

Pasta

• Pasta of your choice

• Veggies

• Tofu or tempeh (optional)

Method

1. Boil the pasta of your choice.

2. Blend all of the sauce ingredients until smooth. Use about 1/2 cup water, depending on how thick you want it.

3. Heat up some veggies and pre-marinated tofu or tempeh if you would like.

4. In a bowl, combine the pasta, veggies, protein, and the sauce.

5. Top with some roasted cashews or some micro greens for pizzazz ✨🤗 (and of course the added nutritional benefits).
   

Personal Tips and Notes

• I didn't have onion powder, I only had onion salt, so I just didn't add the salt.

• I recommend using a protein pasta. My favorite is chickpea pasta!

• It's very helpful to keep some frozen veggies and/or fresh veggies stocked in your fridge so you can always be prepared to whip up simple delicious meals like this.
