Instructions
- Drain and toss half of your pre-soaked cashews into a food processor or high-speed blender, along with the garlic. Pulse a few times, until cashews and garlic are chopped (but not processed into a paste).
- Add remaining cashews, as well as enough water to reach about one inch below the cashews in your processor or blender.
- Process or blend until smooth. You now have a cashew 'cream,' which will be the base for your 'cheeze.'
- Boil water for pasta, and in the meantime, whisk cashew cream and remaining 'cheeze' ingredients in a small saucepan, on medium heat.
- When your 'cheeze' has thickened, turn heat down to low. Add broth or water if it gets too thick.
- Drain pasta, add 'cheeze' and greens (if desired), and serve!
