Tips:
- For a creamier sauce, consider adding a splash of heavy cream just before serving.
- Use a variety of mushrooms such as shiitake, cremini, or portobello for a deeper, more complex flavor.
- Toast the cashews in a dry skillet for a few minutes before adding to the dish to enhance their flavor.
- Feel free to substitute gluten-free pasta if you have dietary restrictions.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
