Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak raw cashews (1.25 cup) in very hot water for 20 minutes. Then drain and add to a high-speed blender.

  2. 2

    To the blender, add arrowroot starch (1 tbsp) (optional), nutritional yeast (3.5 tbsp), garlic (2.5 clove), sea salt (0.5 tsp), vegan parmesan (1.5 tbsp), and plant milk (1.5 cup).

  3. 3

    Blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Taste and adjust flavor as desired, adding more [garlic], [nutritional yeast], [vegan parmesan], [sea salt], or [plant milk] if too thick.

  4. 4

    Transfer to a rimmed skillet and cook over medium-low to medium heat for 5 minutes, whisking frequently. The sauce should thicken and bubble. Add up to plant milk (1 cup) more as needed to thin.

  5. 5

    Serve warm with zucchini noodles or your favorite [pasta]. Top with additional [vegan parmesan] and [roasted tomatoes] for more flavor.
