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
- 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.
- Cut the pumpkin into cubes and marinate with oil, salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven at 220°C (430°F) for 10 to 15 minutes.
- 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.
- 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).
- Add the leftover noodles to the sauce in the pot, mix well together and slowly bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the remaining pumpkin, truffle paste, or oil and mix gently.
- Serve as shown in the photo.
If the sauce gets too thick after you add the noodles, add some more soya milk to it.
