Easy Alfredo

Method

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 a 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, if you want to, serve with a sprinkling of mint.
