Ingredients

1 lb pasta I used cavatappi
2 cups raw cashews
2 cups water
1 1/4 Tbsp minced garlic
1 1/4 Tbsp white miso
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp mustard powder
red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

Cook the noodles according to the directions on the package. While the noodles cook, add the rest of the ingredients except the chili flakes to a blender and combine. Mixture should be thick and creamy. Drain the noodles and return to original pot then back to the stove-top. Keep the pot on the same burner, so the pot stays warm but turn off the heat.
Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, add the cheese sauce to the noodles. The pot and warm noodles will heat the sauce. Serve immediately with red pepper flakes.
