Do you want to know a love story? It’s the story of a girl and a vegetable, or a pasta, or lasagna. Basically, it’s a story about Béchamel going vegan.

That’s the whole story hehe.

INGREDIENTS

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 large chopped onion

2 minced garlic gloves

½ cup raw cashews

2 cups water

1 Tbsp lemon juice

2 tsp sea salt

PREP

If you are not using a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix, soak cashews overnight or boil for 10 minutes and drain. This will soften the cashews to ensure a silky smooth cream.

METHOD

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and let cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

In a blender, combine chopped onion, minced garlic, cashews, water, lemon juice, and sea salt. Blend on high for about 2 minutes until very smooth.

NOTES + SERVING TIPS

Try with your favorite pasta combo – we heart rigatoni with sautéed spinach or cremini mushrooms and a touch of fresh basil!

Dinner = served.
