Words like 'sexy' are normally reserved for chocolaty, velvety things like this cake<\/a>, but who says pasta can't be sexy, too?<\/p>\n

This pasta is\u00a0ultra-creamy with a captivating zesty, garlicky, and peppery bite. The sauce is made with \u00a0cauliflower, raw cashews, plant-based milk, oodles of garlic, big pinches of pepper, and a few squeezes of fresh lemon juice.<\/p>\n

And it's out. of. this. world.<\/p>\n

Serve\u00a0this silky pasta to hippy-dippy, tree-hugging vegans or meat lovers with big, bold appetites. It's a crowd-pleaser that knows no bounds and leaves no appetites unsatiated.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

To make this utterly dreamy, super rich and creamy vegan pasta, you'll start by cooking your noodles of choice and boiling 2 \u00bd cups of cauliflower florets until fork tender (about 7 minutes).<\/p>\n

Add the cauliflower florets to a blender along with a cup of plant-based milk, \u00bc cup raw cashews, two tablespoons fresh lemon juice, one tablespoon nutritional yeast, sea salt, and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Blend on high for two minutes, or until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, add a\u00a0drizzle of olive oil and six minced cloves garlic to a large saut\u00e9 pan, and cook until the garlic is soft and fragrant (about 2 minutes).<\/p>\n

Then, pour the cauliflower sauce into the pan, increase the heat, and simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce is hot and bubbly.<\/p>\n

Finally, add the pasta to the pan and toss to coat.<\/p>\n

If desired, add a bit of pasta water to thin the sauce. Then, taste and season with more black pepper.<\/p>\n

Twirl the hot pasta into bowls and serve it up.<\/p>\n

Peppery pasta perfection.<\/p>\n
