Vegan Pasta with Creamy Miso Cashew Sauce image

This pasta dish sauce is so full of flavor you may not realize the sauce has no dairy in it! Go sparingly on the miso paste, and add to taste preference. If you have a regular blender, I cannot guarantee the results.

Time 21m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound penne pasta
1 cup unsalted cashews
1 tablespoon white miso paste, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups hot water

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set pasta aside.
  • Combine cashews, miso paste, garlic, and hot water in a high frequency blender (such as a Vitamix®). Turn on Vitamix® and quickly increase speed to 10. Blend until mixture is fully blended, 6 to 8 minutes. The mixture should steam when you remove the lid. Pour sauce over pasta and serve - sauce will thicken up as it cools.
