For the creamy sauce:

  • 60 g California Walnuts soaked in boiling water for 30 mins (or up to overnight)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 white onion
  • 3-4 garlic cloves
  • 50 ml plant milk – I recommend soya for this one!
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1-2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Pasta water – more or less depending on how thick you like your sauce!

To garnish:

  • Fresh California Walnuts
  • Fresh parsley 
  • Vegan Parmesan 

PREPARATION

  1. Submerge your walnuts in some boiling water and allow to sit for about 30 mins – or up to over night
  2. Boil your pasta according to the instructions
  3. Sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent
  4. In a blender, blitz the soaked walnuts, sautéed onion/garlic mixture, plant milk, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, nutmeg and pasta water
  5. Once smooth and silky, add your creamy sauce to the cooked pasta
  6. Garnish with fresh California Walnuts, fresh parsley and vegan Parmesan cheese
