- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Vegan parmesan for garnish
- Red pepper flakes for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions and set aside.
- In a blender, combine soaked cashews, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce until evenly coated.
