Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 160 gram penne
  • 400 gram cauliflower frozen also works
  • 4 gloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 50 gram cashew nuts
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 100 ml plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • fresh parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven 200 degrees.
  • Start by putting the cashew nuts in water, on heat and boil softly so they go soft.
  • Cut the cauliflower in florets and put it them on a lined baking tray. Add the (unpeeled!) garlic gloves as well and put in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes.
  • In the meantime, prepare the penne by boiling for 12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Chop the onion. Heat some oil in a pan and bake the onion on low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Take the cauliflower and garlic from the oven. Peel the garlic and drain the cashew nuts. Add the following to a bowl or a tall measuring cup: cauliflower, garlic, lemon juice, plant milk, nutritional yeast, cashew nuts and salt. Blend until smooth.
    Note: If you have a great blender you can blend everything at once. If you don't (like a standing mixer), you may want to blend the cashew nuts + plantmilk separately first.
  • Add the cauliflower sauce the pan with onions, and heat for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the penne and add the chopped parsley.
