How to Prepare Linguine with Lemon Basil Cream Sauce [Vegan]

  1. Start your pasta water.
  2. While you’re waiting for the water to boil, add cashews, water, basil, and garlic to a high speed blender. Blend into a smooth, creamy consistency, approximately 1 minute.
  3. Poor the cashew cream into a medium size pot over medium heat. Add the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, stir. When the cream sauce starts to bubble turn the heat down to low, keep warm and stir occasionally.
  4. Meanwhile cook your linguine according to package instructions. When the linguine is al dente, add it to the sauce and toss gently. The sauce will thicken and make a nice creamy coating on the pasta.
  5. Garnish with fresh ground black pepper and a sprig of basil.
