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.
Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound whole wheat penne
- 1/3 cup raw cashews, covered with boiling water and soaked for a few hours to soften
- 1/2 cup Engine 2 Plant-Strong™ Unsweetened Original Almondmilk
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 1/4 cup Engine 2 Plant-Strong™ Cantina Style Salsa
- 2 cups chopped kale leaves

- 1/4 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
- Topping
- 2/3 cup dry whole wheat bread crumbs
- 1 1/2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons granulated onion
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.
