Ingredients

Creamy Lentil Pasta Sauce

Veggies

▢ 1 ½ cups frozen peas

Pasta

▢ 500g pasta noodles of choice
▢ ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese for topping vegan - optional

Instructions

Prep

Wash the lentils thoroughly, and slice up the carrot.
In a large pot on medium heat, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add in the lentils and carrots and simmer for around 10 mins.
Meanwhile, cook your pasta noodles according to the package instructions. Save a little pasta reserve water for later.
In a separate small pot, cook the peas according to package instructions.

Blend

Now, add the lentils and carrots into a high-powered blender with the soaked and drained cashews, miso, nutritional yeast, garlic and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
(Note: a high powered blender works best here to get a creamy texture. If you're blender is not high-powered you may have to soak the cashews overnight to avoid getting a grainy texture)

Finishing Touches

Drain the noodles, and add them back into a pot with the sauce, and a little pasta reserve water. Cook for 1 min on low or until well combined.
Season with salt and pepper. Serve with a little fresh grated parm on top and some fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
