About Cashew pasta

Cashew Pasta is a creamy, nutrient-rich dish that combines the nutty flavor of cashews with silky pasta for a satisfying meal. Typically rooted in plant-based cuisine, it’s often embraced by vegan and vegetarian chefs for its dairy-free appeal. The sauce is usually made by blending soaked cashews with garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and plant-based milk, creating a rich texture that resembles traditional Alfredo or cream sauces. High in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium and zinc, cashews contribute heart-healthy benefits and provide sustained energy. While cashews are nutrient-dense, the dish can be calorie-rich if consumed in large portions or if paired with refined pasta. To keep it balanced, it’s often served with whole-grain pasta or zucchini noodles alongside fresh vegetables. Cashew Pasta is a deliciously wholesome alternative for creamy pasta lovers seeking a lighter, plant-focused option.
