Ingredients
*Requires Advance Prep
1cupraw unsalted cashews (soak for at least one hour and drain)
2clovesgarlic
1teaspoonsalt
¾cupwater
4cupscooked tagliatelle noodlesreserving ¾ cup of the pasta cooking water for later in the recipe (check the ingredients as some tagliatelle noodles contain egg—fettuccini noodles will work too)
2tablespoonsolive oil
1small red onionpeeled and thinly sliced
1½cupssliced button mushrooms
½teaspoonblack pepper
½cuppasta water
Fresh parsleychopped, for garnish
2Wedges of lemonfor garnish, to squeeze on top
Instructions
Soak the cashews for at least 1 hour (but ideally overnight). To do so, place the raw cashews in a medium bowl and cover with water. Set aside uncovered at room temperature. The cashews are ready when they break apart when pressed between two fingers. Drain and dispose of water.
Add the soaked cashews, garlic, salt, and ¾ cup of fresh water to a blender and blend on high speed until completely smooth, about 3 minutes. Stop, scrape down the sides of the blender, and process again for 1 minute. Set this cashew cream aside.
Heat up your sautéing pan to high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the onions and mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Add pepper.
Pour in the blended cashew cream and lower the heat to medium. Add up to ¾ cups of the reserved pasta water (the water you cooked the noodles in) to the pan, until you have your desired sauce consistency. Let that thicken for about 2-3 minutes, mixing regularly, and then remove from heat.
Serve over the cooked tagliatelle (or fettuccini) noodles, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, and plate with a wedge of lemon.
Notes
Note: If you don’t have tagliatelle, feel free to use fettuccine or any other noodles instead.
