Creamy Cashew and Tomato Pasta
Serves 4
2 tomato’s
1 Cup Raw Cashews
2 Tbs Tomato Paste
1/2 Cup Water
Penne pasta.
2 Tbs Olive Oil
4 Cloves of Garlic
1 Onion
1 Lemon
1 tsp Salt
Cracked pepper to taste
Small handful of fresh or dried Parsley
Small handful of fresh or dried Basil
Place pasta in boiling water with a pinch of salt and let cook.
Meanwhile roughly chop up the tomato’s and place them into a blender, once blended add the cashews, tomato paste and water and blend once more until smooth.
Chop up the onion relatively fine and cook in a large pan with olive oil until browned. Crush the garlic and add to the onion. Once cooked add the blended tomato and cashews to the pan and mix together, add the salt, pepper and the parsley and basil chopped then the lemon juice from 1 lemon.
Once the pasta is cooked add the pan and mix together.
Serve with cracked pepper on top.
If you feel it's not lemony enough add some more on top also we ran out of fresh Basil but its always pretty to put some on top.
