Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
8 oz of pasta
1/2 cup of peas (use frozen)
kale leaves from 4 large stalks (torn into smaller pieces)
2 cloves of garlic clove (one should be minced, the other can be whole)
1 1/2 cups almond milk
1/2 cup raw cashews *
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 tbs lemon juice
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/2 tbs of chicken-free broth concentrate (I recomend using Better Than Bouillon)
salt and pepper

Directions:
Directions:
1.Cook the pasta according to package.

2.Now on to the peas and kale mixture.

3.In a lightly oiled pan with a lid, sauté the minced garlic clove until soft on medium heat.

4.Then add the kale leaves and stir in a couple of tablespoons of water or stock so that about a 1/4 inch of liquid sits in the pan before adding the frozen peas.

5.Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and then put the lid on and turn to medium-low until the liquid mostly evaporates.

6.Let it simmer with the lid while you make the sauce.

7.It’s good to check on it and give it a good stir adding more liquid if needed.

8.For the sauce put the almond milk, cashews, nutritional yeast, whole garlic clove, lemon juice, onion powder, chicken-free broth concentrate in a high speed blender or food processor and blend until very smooth.

9.Add salt and pepper to taste.

10.Heat the sauce in a pot large enough to hold everything (sauce, pasta, peas and kale) over medium-high heat.

11.Make sure to stir/whisk the sauce constantly while heating. It should thicken up pretty quickly (~3 minutes). Remove from heat. Add the pasta, peas and kale.

12.If there is extra liquid in the peas/kale mixture, make sure to drain it out before adding it to the pot.

13. Salt and pepper everything to taste and then dig in!

Personal Notes:
You don’t want the kale sitting in the pan without liquid while it’s actively cooking.

Use a high speed blender to blend the sauce so it didn’t soak the cashews for this dish. Depending on the strength of your blender/food processor, you may need to soak the cashews in water for a couple of hours to help break them down and get them creamy.
