INGREDIENTS:

*1 Box shell pasta

*1/2 Cup raw cashews

*1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

*6 Cups loosely packed baby spinach

*4-5 Basil leaves

*Juice of 1/2 of a lemon

*1 minced garlic clove

*Salt/Pepper to taste

*Cherry tomatoes (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cook pasta per instructions

2. Make pesto sauce by first boiling the cashews for 10 minutes. Drain cashews and put them in a food processor along with the spinach, garlic, basil, lemon juice, salt/pepper, and almond milk and blending until smooth.

3. Drain and rinse cooked pasta then combine sauce and pasta, stirring until coated, you won't need all of the sauce, so put some in a container in your fridge to use on other things (like this Feta Wrap!).

4. Top with tomatoes (optional)


Serve and enjoy!


Keep cooking, friends!
