CASHEW PESTO PASTA - by Deliciously Ella
In need of an easy veggie loaded dinner this week? Pesto pasta is the perfect choice! You can mix up the ingredients and add/remove things to make it your perfect dish - enjoy!
INGRIDIENTS
3 portions of pasta, we use brown rice pasta - or 2-3 courgettes for courgetti
100g cashews
1 ripe avocado, peeled and roughly chopped
Juice of 1 ½ lemons
25g fresh basil
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 garlic clove, peeled
Pinch of sea salt
Place 50g of the cashews into a food processor and pulse for a few seconds, until they’re broken up. Toast them in a frying pan until they go golden brown. Once golden, leave to one side to sprinkle on top of the pasta.
Add all the rest of the ingredients, except the pasta/courgetti, in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy - adding a dash of water if needed.
Toss with your pasta/courgetti and sprinkle with the toasted cashews.
