Ingredients
  • 12 oz Elbow Macaroni (We Used Gluten Free)
  • 2 Carrots (Peeled and Cut into Chunks)
  • 2 potatoes (Peeled and Cut into Chunks)
  • 1 Onion (Peeled and Cut into Chunks)
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (Peeled)
  • 1 Cup Raw Cashews
  • ⅓ Cup Gochujang Sriracha Sauce
  • 3 Tbsp Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Thyme (Stems Removed)
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • Bread Crumb (We Used Gluten Free)
  • Vegan Parmesan
  • 1 Bunch Fresh Parsley (Stems Removed)
Instructions
  1. Put a large pot of water on high heat and bring to a boil.
  2. Wash and prepare all of the fresh produce.
  3. Once the water is boiling, add the cashews. Allow to boil for ten minutes.
  4. At this point carefully put the potatoes, carrots and onions into the boiling water. Allow the vegetables to boil for an additional 5 minutes. Drain the cashews and vegetables, saving some at least 2 cups of the boiling water.
  5. Start to cook your pasta as per the directions on the package.
  6. Put the boiled nuts and vegetables into a blender along with the garlic, gochujang sriracha sauce, thyme, dry spices and 1 cup of the reserved water. Blend until very smooth. Add additional water if needed.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  8. Pour your cooked pasta into an oven safe baking dish. Pour the “cheese” sauce onto the pasta and stir to combine. (You may have extra sauce. We like to use it later in the week for a quick nacho or on a baked potato. But feel free to use it all if you really love “cheese!”)
  9. Cover the top of the dish with bread crumb and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the breadcrumb has browned.
  10. Garnish with vegan parmesan and parsley.
  11. Enjoy!
