Comfort food? Yes please!

Cooking and eating delicious home-cooked meals with my family - it's nostalgic, it's warm, it's friendly. It's, honestly, what I look forward to at the end of each day. Getting in the kitchen at the end of a busy day is the reward to the day. Even with the challenge of an empty fridge mid-week and minutes to figure something out, there is no stress. The kitchen is my calm. 

Creamy, cheesy, easy, peasy. Ready in 15 minutes. So good, enjoy!

Cashew Mac n' Cheeze

Total time: 15 minutes + soaking time for cashews

Ingredients
  • 2 roasted red peppers
  • 2 Tbsp vegan butter or coconut oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp basil 
  • sea salt/pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup cashews soaked in water for 30 minutes or even better, overnight!
  • 1-2 tbsp. cup nutritional yeast
What to do:
  1. Add the roasted red peppers to a food processor along. Purée until smooth, adding a tablespoon or two of water if needed to help it blend. 
  2. Add garlic it to a skillet with the butter or oil. Sauté over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic is smelling good. Pour in the puréed peppers and add basil. Stir to combine.
  3. Allow the sauce to simmer. Turn the heat down to low and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring often, or until the mixture is thick.
  4. Meanwhile, in your food processor, combine your cashews, soaking water, and nutritional yeast. Blend until very smooth. Add sea salt/pepper to taste. 
  5. Add the cashew cream to the skillet, stir until the sauce is smooth, and allow to heat through. 
  6. Add pasta to the sauce and stir to evenly combine. Tastes great with a little added greens, too!
