Creamy Lemon & Paprika Pasta


1/2 lb. pasta

1 cup cashews (boiled in water for 20 min)

2 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp turmeric

1/4 cup vegan cream cheese (used garlic chive flavor)

1 cup warm vegetable broth

1 tsp kosher salt

Pepper to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Chives and paprika or cayenne for serving

Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. In a separate saucepan at the same time, boil the cashews. While they are cooking, gather the other sauce ingredients. When the pasta is done, drain but reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Drain cashews, add them to a blender along with remaining sauce ingredients. Add sauce back to hot pasta. Stir well, add bit of pasta water a little at a time if desired, to thin the sauce. Serve, top with chives and paprika or cayenne if desired.
