Creamy Vegan Cashew Pasta

WOW. Simple. This is what I am understanding, things are a lot more simple when you just go at it, when you play with your foods. I was inspired by the article below: 30 Delicious Vegan Meals Under 30 Minutes. #9 in the articles specifically, but as per usual I completely changed it:)

Creamy Vegan Cashew Pasta 
3 cups of cashews
Olive oil (2 tbs)
3/4 cups of non-dairy milk
Veggies (whatever is in your fridge that makes for a nice medley) ... ( I used french cut green beans, white mushrooms, garlic, and lil bit of arugula)
Water (1/2-1cup)
Salt
Pepper
Chili powder
Pasta: spinach fettuccine for me!
Nutritional yeast (1-2tbs, just a nice burst of vitamins for the vegan meal)
Garlic powder/salt (just wanted some more garlic in there)
In a food processor chop your cashews so they are then ready for the blending feature. Cook your pasta, I had spinach fettuccine (worked well with the Alfredo-like sauce I was about to create). Cook your vegetable medley, my inspiration article called for kale but my fridge determined the direction here ( wonderful french cut green beans, mushrooms and arugula all needing to go!) Remember add the lettucey greens last, they wilt and quick.
Then its just the blender. I messed around until I got a consistency that I liked. Blend the non-dairy milk and cashews. Add salt, pepper, chili powder, tasting it as you go so as to not ruin it with to much of anything. Add oil. Add water. It will be thick at points, which is the reason for my loose measurement on the water. The nutritional yeast is a nutty sort of addition. Learned about it last week at the store, just a good burst of vitamins for the vegan (which I am not, but I like vegan meals they're more fun!). Don't forget some sort of garlic flavoring, whatever form your kitchen may hold.

Its a delicious, LIGHT and simple meal. It took me about 25 minutes so the article was right! I just completed the bowl of noodles and veggies. It was the exact consistency of Alfredo! I had the urge to top with some shredded cheese however, that would not be very vegan friendly of me:)
