Process
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
- Preheat oven to 350 F and spray an 9 inch round baking pan with cooking spray. Or use a 9x9 square dish.
- Prepare penne pasta according to instructions, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water once done cooking.
- In a high powered blender, combine cashew butter, almond milk, nutritional yeast, dijon mustard, garlic, coconut aminos and seasonings. Blend until smooth then set aside.
- Once pasta is done pour into the baking dish. Then mix in the cheese sauce until fully combined. Add in a touch of pasta water if sauce feels too dry. I added about 1/4 cup total.
- Top with vegan cheese shreds and breadcrumbs. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. Serve with fresh thyme on top and enjoy immediately!
