Author Notes

I've used my got-to cashew cream in lieu of heavy cream to make a rich, creamy pasta sauce that no one would ever know was dairy-free. —thesinglebite

What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews soaked 4-8 hours (go with 8 if you don't have a high powered blender)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (or more if you like)
  • Pinch ground nutmeg
  • salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  1. Add soaked cashews and 2/3 cup water to a blender. Puree until smooth. Should be the consistency of heavy cream and should yield about 1 cup of cashew cream. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallot and sage. Saute a 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in vegan butter, then pumpkin and add the cashew cream. Simmer about 5 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
  4. Add in nutmeg, salt and pepper and serve over pasta.
