• 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least 1 hour, then drained
• 1/2 cup water (more if needed)
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 3 Tbsp non-dairy milk (I used almond milk)

3. Do a taste test before removing from blender. I decided I wanted a touch more garlic powder and nutritional yeast.

 
4. Drain the pasta.

 
5. Pour the "cheese" mixture into the bottom of a large serving bowl. Grate in fresh nutmeg.

 
6. Toss in cooked pasta. Mix well and sprinkle with cayenne powder, if desired. Serve immediately.
