Cover the cashews in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain cashews and add them to a high speed blender with the plant milk and blend until smooth.
Add dried pasta to a saucepan. Next cover the pasta in about 2 cups of water (use more or less as needed). Throw in a good pinch of salt and then bring the water to a boil. Stir occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking.
Once the water is boiling, lower the heat and cook until al dente and most of the water has evaporated.
Add the cashew cream and all the other ingredients to the pasta and stir until combined.
Season to taste, top with more black pepper and vegan parmesan if desired and serve immediately!
Notes
If you want this to go faster, bring the pasta to a boil while the cashews soak in the hot water.
