Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

- Add the nutritional yeast, paprika, chili powder, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and almond milk to the blender with the cashews. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chopped kale to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the onions and kale. Pour the cashew sauce over the pasta and stir to combine until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or spices if needed. Serve warm and enjoy your Vegan Kale Pasta with Cashews!
Tips:
- To save time, you can soak the cashews overnight to ensure they blend smoothly into a creamy sauce.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or cherry tomatoes for added texture and flavor.
- For an extra cheesy flavor, you can add an additional tablespoon of nutritional yeast.
- Adjust the level of chili powder and red pepper according to your spice preference.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add more almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.
