Creamy tomato pasta, without the cream

Cashews are the star ingredient of this dairy-free dish 🍝

Here is a comfort food I’ve been making for years. It doesn’t have many vegetables - nor much to write home about in terms of nutrition - but it is nourishing for the soul. (Something we could all probably use in the coming seven days and likely beyond.)

It’s a simple creamy tomato pasta for those nights when you just wanna cozy up in your stretchy pants and not be bothered by the world.

Now, cashews are the MVP of this pasta recipe. That sounds odd at first, but when you soak raw cashews in boiling water, then blend them up into a smooth cream, the mixture acts very similar to heavy cream. I promise: once you try the technique, you’ll realize this ingredient is a total chameleon that you can incorporate into lots of different dishes…
