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 chile 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 8x8-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.
