Anyway, I was messing around with my new blender (a Blendtec) and decided to make a pasta sauce with these two dishes in mind. It turned out quite wonderfully, if I do say so myself.
1 1/2 c. water
1 1/4 c. raw cashews
1/4 c. sun-dried tomatoes
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper
1 lemon, zested and then peeled and quartered*
• Zest the lemon. Reserve zest and then peel and quarter the lemon.
• Add all ingredients (including the lemon zest and peeled lemon quarters) to your blender.
• Blend until completely smooth and hot**.
• Serve with whole grain penne pasta and broccoli (either on the side or mixed in).
* This makes the sauce pretty lemon-y. We really liked it, but you may want to start with 1/2 of a lemon and add more if you'd like. I'd still use the zest from the whole lemon, though.
** The sauce should still get pretty creamy with a normal blender - it just won't heat up unless you have a Vita Mix or a Blendtec.
