Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
Prep
- Add cashews to a bowl with hot tap water (not boiling) and allow to soak for 1 hour.
- While cashews are soaking, cook pasta slightly all dente according to package directions (1-2 minutes less than recommended time).
- Wipe mushrooms clean with a damp towel and set aside. Chop onion into 1/4 inch pieces, approximately 1 cup, and set aside. Minced garlic cloves and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together tamari, molasses, balsamic, dijon, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cook
- Heat a large skillet to medium and add olive oil. When oil moves easily around the pan, add mushrooms and onions. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms have significantly reduced in size and any extra liquid has evaporated, approximately 10 minutes.
- Turn heat to low and add garlic, as well as tamari mixture. Cook, stirring, until garlic is softened and fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add 1 cup chicken stock and allow mixture to simmer.
- While mixture is simmering, add drained cashews to a blender, along with remaining 1/2 cup stock and nutritional yeast. Puree until smooth.
- Add cashew puree to pan and stir to combine. Simmer mixture until it has reduced in size by approximately 1/3. It is ready when you scrape a spoon through it and the liquid doesn't run back together.
- Add noodles and cook until warmed through, 2-3 minutes. Taste for more taste, pepper and/or nutritional yeast. Serve immediately.
