Black Bean (mock) pasta from Trader Joes

No meat. No wheat. No sweets. No dairy. No alcohol. 

Vegan recipe

Ingredients:
Trader Joes Black Bean Rotini
1 zucchini
10-12 small cherry tomatoes
1/2 onion
1 yellow or red pepper
1/2 cup cashews soaked in water overnight
2 Lemons
Basil

Bring Rotini to a boil. Package says 8-10 minutes. I recommend 6-7 minutes. It gets weird if overcooked.


Meanwhile, sauté onions 6 min. Add zucchini at last 3 minutes, and cherry tomatoes for the last 2 minutes.,

In a high speed blender, put water soaked cashews (strained)
1/2 cup fresh water
lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
Blend until thick

Once the rotini is cooked and strained, toss with the cashew cream and plate. Top with the vegetables, basil and yellow pepper.
