Red Pepper Cream Pasta

[amymylove]

This was super good I used tons of creole to season the sauce and plain light soymilk instead of water to make the sauce to my desired creaminess consistency. I baked the bells at 425 F... for about 15 minutes.

This was soooooooo good! I added salt, pepper and cayanne (for a little heat) for seasoning. It was perfect. I followed the recipe exactly and I loved it! My husband gave it a 4.5 which is the highest rating he's given so far.This is a keeper. But I need to find a way to get the cashews really creamy. It was just a litty grainy.

Maybe if you soaked the cashews first they would blend to a smoother consistency.

I made this last night and LOVED IT.

My fiance is a meat eatter ( I know...it's sad)
Regardless, I made this and he LOVED it.
I am slowly showing him the light, and he sees how being vegan effects me in the positive so, he's starting to let go of meat.

The soaked the cashews for about 15 mins but I still needed to add quite a bit of water, as if just wasn't as silky as I like my sauces.

All in all, this is amazing with asparagus...give this a try, you'll love it!

just a quick question - i'm a poor student.. and for some bizarre reason the roasted cashews are cheaper than the raw - anyway, do you guys think i could get a creamy result from soaking roasted cashews? i would really love to try this and get a great result

I would think u would get the same creamy result it would just be more salty

i agree - ive used roasted cashews lots of times in place of raw and i just salt to taste at the end.

this sauce is something so simple and i think pretty damn tasty plus it sure made my pasta go a pretty orange colour 

i ended up using the roasted cashews - but soaked them for an hour, then blended them. They turned out rather creamy

I only used 1 large red capsicum - and I found this was really enough for my taste.

These are my little additions to just give it a boost -

1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 vegetable stock powder
1 clove of garlic

these little additions subtly flavour the sauce, so the actual creamy sauce still has it's own flavour shine through - i hope that makes sense to you guys 

i am a nutritional yest fiend, so next time I make this - and I will  i might add a spoonfull of it in there.

[Ellie-Jelly]

made it again -  i threw in a few semi dried tomatoes (packed in oil) as they are close to expiring so i had to use them. i really have to say.. the tomatoes paired with this sauce.. is absolutely brilliant :O

thanks again for the recipe heliamphora

This sounds amazing, if I'm going to soak my cashews before hand, would I only need to use enough water to cover the one cup of nuts? or how do I work out the water:cashew ratio?

 

I want this for dinner!! haha

[amymylove]

i don't think u have to soak ur cashews beforehand... but yes just as the directions say... just enough to barley cover the nuts

[groovezone247]

This sure sounds good.
I am wondreing if there is alot of creaminess to it? Like in the resturants?
 Some thins i  do miss!

i wouldn't say it has a dairy creaminess to it - but if you have ever made nut based 'cheesey' sauces before - it has that level of creaminess.
though you will feel as satisfied after eating this - i found it to be a 'heavy' sauce - so it does fill you up much like a dairy cream sauce would i guess. just dont expect it to be the same as dairy or you will set yourself up for disappointment - but vegan sauces are MUCH better than non vegan ones anyway i hope this has helped somewhat.

Hi and thankyou!
 This is something i will  make then. I do like the  Nutritional yeast sauce  taste ,if there is plenty  to make it creamy enogh.
  Thankyou!
