This sauce is made in a blender, so its fast and easy. It's also super easy to customize any additions you choose. 

serves 2

Ingredients: 

1 Cup Soy milk
1/3 Cup Raw, Unsalted Cashews
1/4 Cup Nutritional Yeast
3 Tbs Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tbs Earth Balance Margarine
1 Tbs Tahini (you can find this at just about any store now days)
1 Tbs Fresh Lemon Juice
2 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 tsp Paprika (smoked paprika is best)

1 Pinch Nutmeg
2-4 Cloves of Garlic, optional
Black pepper, to taste

1 cup dry Orecchiette pasta - cooked according to package directions (or any pasta you choose)

Directions:
Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. This works best in a high-speed blender (like a Vita-Mix), but you can make it in a regular blender. Blend it a bit longer, or perhaps strain it if you want it perfectly smooth.

Drain pasta and return it to the hot empty pan. Pour the sauce over, place on medium heat, and stir until heated through. You can also add steamed broccoli to this very easily.
