Pumpkin truffle pasta​

Serves 2
Noodles
  • 300g Leftover Noodles​
Sauce
  • 80g cashew nuts​
  • 100ml water​
  • 300g pumpkin peeled​
  • 20g extra virgin olive oil​
  • 10g vegetable seasoning powder​
  • 300ml soya milk​
  • 50g truffle oil (OR) 20g truffle paste​
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)​

Instructions

  1. For the sauce, bring 100ml of water to the boil, then add in the cashew nuts and cover and switch off the heat. Let the nuts soak for 1 hour.
  2. Cut the pumpkin into cubes and marinate with oil, salt and pepper.
  3. Roast in the oven at 220°C (430°F) for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Once the cashews are soaked for 1 hour, strain away the water and put the cashews into a pot, add soy milk and 5-8g of seasoning powder along with 2/3 of the roasted pumpkin and bring to a boil.
  5. Once the mixture started boiling, blend everything into a fine sauce using a stick blender (if the sauce appears too thick, add more soya milk to it).
  6. Add the leftover noodles to the sauce in the pot, mix well together and slowly bring to a gentle boil.
  7. Add the remaining pumpkin, truffle paste, or oil and mix gently.
  8. Serve as shown in the photo.

If the sauce gets too thick after you add the noodles, add some more soya milk to it.
