Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 1/2 cup (120g) cooked, peeled and mashed potato (I used gold potato); 1 cup (145g) raw cashews (see Notes); 3/4 cup (180g) water; 2 tablespoons (30g) fresh lemon juice; 1 teaspoon garlic powder; 1 teaspoon fine salt; 1 lb ziti or penne pasta (use gluten-free if needed); 4 cups (960g) marinara sauce or pizza sauce (I used my homemade pizza sauce because it's so delicious, full of flavor and takes just 5 minutes to make. Make sure to use a smooth sauce.); 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning (I used my blend, but store-bought is fine, just make sure it doesn't have added salt or red pepper); 1 cup (25g) fresh basil leaves only, finely chopped; 1/4 -1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional only if you want a spicy kick); 1 batch of my homemade lemon parmesan cheese (This is optional, but HIGHLY recommend since it gives a wonderful toasty topping and extra dose of flavor. See Notes below for sub.); I use this scale
