Toast crumbs separately for crunch if desired. Freeze cooled servings airtight. Mix in peas, broccoli, chili, or spinach whenever drama calls tonight again now.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Add pasta, broth, and 1 cup plant milk to a large pot. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook uncovered, stirring often, until pasta turns tender and liquid mostly absorbs.
- Blend remaining milk, cashews, nutritional yeast, oil, garlic powder, and salt until smooth.
- Pour sauce into the pot and stir until glossy, creamy, and thick.
- Add extra milk for softer texture, or cook one minute longer for thicker sauce.
- Serve hot, or transfer to a tray and bake briefly for crisp edges and easier assembly handling.
Notes
For soft and silky results, add warm milk before serving. For crispy texture, bake topped with breadcrumbs. Freeze cooled portions airtight up to 1 month. Rest baked servings five minutes before scooping. Customize with peas, broccoli, chili flakes, or spinach. Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days.
