I’ve been loving adding cashews to pasta sauces as they make the most perfect creamy sauce. You do not need a powerful blender for this recipe, the cashews are easily blended after being soaked in boiling water

For this recipe, you will need:

• Pasta
• Sun-dried tomatoes
• Cashews
• Onion, carrot, garlic clove, celery stalk (soffritto)
• Tomato paste
• Oregano
• Salt and pepper
• Fresh spinach

Step by step Instructions

1. In a pan, sauté onion, garlic, carrot and celery in a little olive oil and water, until soft

2.Add tomato paste and mix to combine
3. In the meantime, soak the cashews in boiling water.

4.Transfer the vegetable mix to a blender and add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.

5.Cook the pasta al dente then mix with the sauce in a pan and add spinach to wilt. Enjoy!
