1/2 cup raw cashews (I get them here in cashew pieces for $3.65 a pound)
1 1/2 cups boiling water (I add extra water to the pasta and take it out once the pasta has cooked about 3 minutes)
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (i left this out because i didn't have it)
1-2 garlic cloves (or more, depends on your taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup parmesan
Blend the nuts alone and just get them to smaller pieces, then add the pasta water and blend it for about 2 minutes, or until it looks like there aren't any pieces. Then add everything else and blend it again for a minute or two. If its not as thick as you'd like then put it in a little saucepan and heat it again and it will thicken.
I have even mixed it with a canned spaghetti sauce and it makes a very quick and tasty pink sauce.
The picture isn't the best, but it tasted great. I made it with spaghetti noodles and sprinkled parsley on top. I have also mixed steamed broccoli into the sauce at the end and served it over pasta. Every way I've tried it, it's been great.
