Method
Step 1
Soak your cashews in cold water, preferably overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours.
Step 2
Boil 4 quarts of water with a pinch of salt. Once you see bubbles forming on the surface of the water, add the pasta of your choice. Cook according to pasta instructions till the pasta is al denté. Remember to save 1 cup of pasta water for the sauce before draining the pasta!
Step 3
Drain your cashews from the water and add to a high-speed blender along with the lemon juice, nutritional yeast, ground peppercorns, salt, and 1/3 pasta water from step 3. Blitz in your blender or food processor till you achieve a smooth sauce with an even consistency. If needed, slowly add more pasta to the sauce to increase the runniness.
