Remade this classic recipe tonight for dinner, after talking about it today with a friend. This is always a repeat dinner of mine. If you haven’t tried it yet, I’ve put the recipe down below

Serves 2 | V DF RSF
Ingredients:
1/4 of avocado
1/2 cup of cashews
4 cloves (small) garlic
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup of water
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g basil
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
200g wholewheat pasta
Salt & pepper

Method:
1. Roast cashews and garlic cloves in the oven at 200°C for approximately 10mins, remove once toasted
2. In a blender add 1/4 cup of the cashews, garlic, basil, avocado, olive oil, water, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and salt and pepper
3. Blend until creamy, add more water if additional thinning is required
4. Boil water add a pinch of salt and place the pasta in
5. Once soft, take 1 cup of pasta water and place aside and drain the rest of the pasta
6. Put the pasta in a large pan and pour in the pesto and pasta water to your desired consistency (I added 1/2 cup)
7. Cook on low heat and mix thoroughly
8. Plate the pasta, chop up the remaining cashews and sprinkle on top. Enjoy!
