Spaghetti with Creamy Zucchini Sauce

RECIPE BY ALINA FROM @PLANTBASEDALINA

Perfectly cooked spaghetti with creamy white sauce made with zucchini and cashews. This is a great plant-based version to alfredo or bechamel. The cashew made it so creamy and thick, perfect for coating the pasta.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup raw cashews
• 1 zucchini, chopped into chunks (peeling is optional)
• juice of half a lemon
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp italian herb blend
• 1 1/2 cups of filtered water

METHOD

1. In a high speed blender, blend all the ingredients until smooth and silky (2-3 minutes on high speed).
2. Serve over pre-cooked pasta, salad, cooked grains, roasted veggies or add it into soup. This recipe is enough for 12 servings of pasta. Half the recipe for 6 pasta servings.
3. Leftovers store in an airtight container up to a week in the fridge. 
4. Serve in your favourite Coconut Bowls and enjoy!
