- 4 large garlic cloves peeled
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp dried basil

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cup soaked cashews
- Vegetable broth (optional)
Instructions
- Place cashews in boiling water for 10-20 minutes, drain, set aside
- In a high power blender throw all the ingredients in, and blend til smooth. If you need to get things moving drizzle in a little more olive oil, vegetable broth or water a little at a time. Adjust the seasonings as desired. *If you’re in a bind and have even less time, but want a filling sauce, throw ready made red sauce and cashews in the blender! (I love Rao’s Arrabiata)
