ASMR Creamy Red Pepper Pasta (MOSTLY NO TALKING)

RED PEPPER PASTA RECIPE (makes enough sauce for 500g of pasta):

For the sauce:

1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced (add less if you want, I love garlic)
2 cups raw cashew nuts
1 cup water
330g jar roasted red peppers (capsicum), drained of the brine/oil in the jar
1.5 teaspoons salt (or to taste/or reduce if salting your pasta water)
1 teaspoon chilli powder (or to taste)
¼ cup nutritional yeast – OPTIONAL
6 tablespoons lemon juice (I used the cheap bottled kind because lemons cost a million dollars in Australia and I had to reserve that million dollars for my cashew nuts 😂)
Fresh basil to garnish

Lightly fry onion and garlic in oil until translucent.

In a high-speed blender or food processor (one that can blend nuts), add all the other ingredients (except basil) and blend until combined. The result is a gorgeous, bright orange sauce.

Add your sauce to the pot with the fried onion and garlic. Combine and let it heat up a little.


For the pasta:

500g dried packet spaghetti (no egg in the one I used), or whichever kind of pasta you prefer.

Cook to packet instructions.

Mix cooked pasta and sauce.

Serve and garnish with fresh basil.


As always, thank you for watching. ❤
