Avocado, Cashews and Sun Dried Tomato Pasta

Recently I have been adding sun dried tomatoes in many of my recipes. I found some organic sun dried tomatoes at Carrefour Seeb the last time i was there and started to experiment with it. I must say this pasta sauce is so creamy and delicious you would never believe its vegan!

The Avocado and Cashews make it so creamy while the Sun dried tomatoes give it the perfect saltiness. The best part about this pasta is that it takes less than 20 minutes to make :)

Recipe (5 people)

Ingredients

3 cups of brown rice pasta (I used elbow type, but any kind would do)

1 avocado

1/2 cup chopped sun dried tomato

1/4 cup cashews

1/4 cup cilantro 

1/4 cup parsley 

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp red pepper flakes

2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil

3 TBSP water

Method

- Cook the pasta as per package instructions to al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the drained water for mixing later.

- Meanwhile Combine all the rest of the ingredients in a food processor for about 5 minutes until its almost smooth (there will still be bits of unprocessed cashews which is fine).

- Once blended, transfer to a large mixing bowl, add the pasta and the 1/2  cup reserved drained water and mix well together.

- Serve warm and enjoy :)
