Instructions

SPINACH SAUCE

  • Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Meanwhile, make sauce:
  • Melt butter in large sauce pan over high heat. Add shallot and garlic, sauteing for 2 minutes, or until soft.
  • Add wine and let alcohol evaporate for about 30 - 45 seconds.
  • Stir in the cashew cream, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp pepper. Reduce to medium-low heat, and stir constantly for 5 minutes, until thickened.
  • Using a blender, add sauce and handfuls of spinach at a time, blending until all spinach has been used, and is smooth + bright green.
  • Pour sauce into a small saucepan through mesh seive. Cover and keep warm until pasta finished.
  • Drizzle a few spoonfuls of sauce on plate, layer pasta on top, then drizzle more sauce over the top.

CASHEW CREAM

  • The night before making your sauce: Place cashews in medium or large bowl, cover completely with water, cover bowl and soak overnight in fridge.
  • Drain cashews, place in blender, and pour enough water in to cover cashews. Blend until smooth and no grain.
