Ingredients
Scale
For the truffle alfredo sauce:
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water overnight and drained
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon truffle salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
All the rest:
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 8 oz. sliced crimini mushrooms
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 12 oz gluten free pasta
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Add all the truffle alfredo ingredients into a blender. Blend on high until smooth. Set aside.
- Fill a large pot with water and heat over high. Once it simmers, add in the pasta and stir immediately to prevent sticking. Reduce to a simmer and cook until al dente, about 5-7 minutes. Drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the avocado oil in a skillet over high heat. Add in the mushroom and sauté until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add in the thyme and heat for another 30 seconds. Reduce the heat to medium. Add in the sauce, drained pasta, and tomatoes. Toss to combine and serve.
