6 minute Raw Vegan Gluten Free Alfredo Sauce Shell Pasta

I cooked some gf shell pasta in boiling water for about 6 minutes until it was just cooked. VERY important to drain it right away. The brand in the green bag, i can't remember.

While that was simmering i got about a handful of cashews with a bit over enough water to cover it with some mixed herbs, a squeeze of bottled lemon juice and a clove of garlic (WOW i was not used to such a strong garlic taste! Next time just half a clove or some paste or something without such a strong taste!).

Blend in a mini blender. I used my "amazing blender" the "magic bullet" rip off. Works perfectly fine in my oppinion. Grinds nuts...blends smoothies and all. Probably not quite as fine but does the job, i have teeth. Also, don't blend for too long....it will overheat- i've been warned. 10 second burtst, and usually it's enough to do the job, if it sticks add water, if it still doesn't work or it's meant to be thick, pull it out and shake the ingredients and pulse, repeat.

Makes 3 bowls worth of sauce! :) Very creamy, also very creepy as to how much it tastes like cream....

I served it on the shell pasta with rocket leaves/ arugula.

To make it non vegan slice up slices of ham (you know the stuff you don't even have to cook, makes it super fast!).

Seriously. 6 minutes, and 2 minutes to chow down. Easy to clean too!
