Equipment

  • High Speed Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast
  • 4 cloves roasted garlic or 1/2 - 1 clove raw garlic, crushed
Imperial - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the cashews, water, salt, nutritional yeast and garlic in a high-speed blender and blend until silky smooth, 1-2 minutes. If you have a soup setting on your blender, you can heat and blend at the same time but you really don't need to if you're tossing with hot pasta.
  • Use immediately, or store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat over medium-low on stove.
