Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Ancient Harvest Gluten Free Pasta
  • 1/2 cup cashews, soaked
  • 1/4 cup vodka
  • 1 14 ounce can crushed or chopped or diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup veggie broth or milk as needed
  • 3/4 cup chopped white or yellow onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (more to deepen the flavor)

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions.
  • Add the cashews to a bowl and cover with boiling water.
