Creamy Cashew Pasta Sauce

Creamy Cashew Pasta Sauce – a winner!

I love creamy cashew pasta sauce!!! So easy to make and you can mix up your dish with different toppings such as olives, mushrooms and baked tomatoes!

Every time I see vegan pasta, I want some!

I love pasta and I especially love pasta sauce that is vegan and creamy. This sauce is the bomb! Super easy to make and so delicious, going to make a batch today!

The real test is when non vegans like it too and this is a winner in that area.

You’ll only need a few ingredients and a blender…..

milk as needed
You want a medium thick sauce, thicker than milk, not as thick as pancake batter
Add salt and pepper to taste
Set aside
Cook your pasta, drain
Pasta of your choice cooking.

My pasta ready for the sauce. You can heat your sauce up after you blend and then pour on. Or you can drain your pasta and pour the sauce into the pot and heat it up. Either way works.
Add the sauce to the cooked pasta and heat a bit more
Serve immediately with a salad or all by itself
Another way to serve. I added this sauce right to the drained pasta…the sauce will thicken up a bit more. Then I topped with sauteed Portobello mushrooms. Perfection!

Many ways to use the sauce. You could use gluten free pasta too!
