¼ tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Cook your pasta as per instructions on the pack in well salted water. While it is cooking time to make the creamy red pepper sauce sauce.
Blend all ingredients for the sauce (except the basil) till smooth.
Drain the pasta, keeping some pasta water aside. Add the drained pasta and cashew sauce to the empty pot, mix well over low heat until warmed through, adding a few tablespoons of pasta water if needed and simmer until the sauce has thickened nicely to your desired consistency.
Pick the basil leaves and roughly chop. Taste and season before serving with the chopped basil. Enjoy!!
