How to Prepare Gluten-Free Cashew Tempeh Pasta [Vegan, Gluten Free]
- To toast raw cashews preheat oven to 350°F. Spread cashews out evenly on a baking sheet. Bake cashews for 8 minutes or until they become golden brown.
- To a high powered blender add 3/4 cup of toasted cashews, reserving the other 1/4 cup of toasted cashews for a garnish. Add half of the minced garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, tabasco sauce, brown sugar, and toasted sesame oil. Blend on high for 1 minute or until cashews are completely blended up and smooth. Set sauce aside.
- Start to bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large skillet melt coconut oil over medium heat. Add diced tempeh, onions and peppers, and cook for 8 minutes. Add minced garlic and continue to cook for 1 minute. When finished cooking remove from heat and set aside until pasta is ready.
- Boil gluten-free pasta according to package instructions. When there is 5 minutes of cook time remaining add frozen peas to the boiling pasta water. When the pasta has finished cooking and is al dente, drain.
- In the large pasta pot add the cashew sauce, pasta and peas, along with the stir-fried tempeh, peppers and onions. Stir to evenly coat all ingredients in sauce. Heat until warmed through. Garnish with cilantro, and remaining ¼ cup toasted cashews broken into small pieces. Serve immediately.
