Preparation:

Start by soaking the cashews in hot water for about 30 minutes to soften them. In the meantime, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then set aside.

In a saucepan, sauté the garlic and onion in a bit of olive oil until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their juices and start to brown.

Once the cashews are softened, drain them and add them to a blender along with the vegetable broth, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Pour the cashew cream sauce into the skillet with the mushrooms and simmer for a few minutes until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the cooked pasta to the creamy mushroom sauce and toss to coat evenly. Serve hot and garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for extra flavor.

For an extra depth of flavor, try adding a splash of white wine to the mushroom mixture before adding the cashew cream sauce. It will take this dish to a whole new level!
