Cashews and almondmilk give this pasta dish creamy richness, without the addition of dairy products. If you'd like your pasta even spicier, toss the noodles and sauce with 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.

    Method: 

    Cook pasta in boiling water until it is tender but still offers a little resistance, 12 to 14 minutes.

    Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°F. In a blender, combine the drained cashews, almondmilk, broth, nutritional yeast and salsa; blend until very smooth. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. Add kale, peas and red bell pepper and toss. Pour sauce over pasta and toss again. Transfer mixture to an 8 x 8-inch baking dish and smooth the top. Combine all the topping ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over the pasta. Bake until the topping is browned and the sauce is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.
