Purple Carrot Cavatappi is a vibrant, plant-based dish inspired by Italian cuisine, featuring tender cavatappi pasta paired with nutrient-rich vegetables like carrots, zucchini, and grape tomatoes. The recipe is complemented by a creamy cashew-based sauce infused with garlic, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast for a savory, dairy-free alternative.
