Vegan Alfredo

1: Transfer the cashews to a small bowl and cover with hot water straight from the kettle, then set to one side.

2: Place a frying pan on medium heat and drizzle with a little oil. Once hot, add the onion and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently until they begin to brown. Then add the garlic, peas, and asparagus to the frying pan and fry for a further 2 minutes.

3: Meanwhile, cook the pasta as per the packet instructions. Drain the cashews and add them to a blender along with the milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth, then pour into the frying pan and heat through for a minute.

4: Drain the pasta into the pan, adding a generous few splashes of pasta water as you go to help loosen the sauce.

5: Season to taste with another pinch of salt and pepper then serve.
