Today I’m eating a delicious plate of creamy lemon and pea pasta, using cashew nuts as the creamy base. Start by cooking 500g pasta of your choice (I used shells) according to packet directions. Reserve a bowl of the starchy pasta water just before you drain it. To make the sauce: in a high-speed, high-powered blender (I used a Vitamix), blend 1 cup of raw unsalted cashew nuts with ½ – 1/3 cup water (start with ½ cup and add more if needed) to make your cashew cream. The texture and consistency should be like that of cream — smooth and slightly runny. Next, sauté 2 cloves of garlic in a little oil on low–medium heat with 1 tsp of chilli flakes for 10–20 seconds. Add the cooked pasta and 1 cup of frozen peas and mix well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the juice and zest of 1–2 lemons, the cashew cream, and a couple of ladles of your reserved pasta water. Add more pasta water if you would like it more saucy. Eat as is or top with your favourite garnishes. I added some spring onion, nutritional yeast (a cheesy-flavoured powder commonly used as a flavour enhancer), and extra pepper, lemon zest and chilli flakes to mine. As always, thank you for watching ❤️
