Description

This creamy miso pasta sauce is ready in 20 minutes. It is very flavorful and creamy even though it is vegan. You need a high-frequency blender (Vitamix®).

Ingredients

1 pound penne pasta
1 cup unsalted cashews
1 tablespoon Miso Paste-Mellow White MO
3 cloves garlic, peeled
2 cups hot water

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and set pasta aside.
2 Combine cashews, miso paste, garlic, and hot water in a high frequency blender (such as a Vitamix®). Turn on Vitamix® and quickly increase speed to 10. Blend until mixture is fully blended, 6 to 8 minutes. The mixture should steam when you remove the lid. Pour sauce over pasta and serve - sauce will thicken up as it cools.
