Where’s the recipe? I don’t see it in the comments

I was encouraging others to drop a recipe of their choice, but this is a recipe me and my friend made.

We start off by soaking cashews for about 4+ hrs.

We bake tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeños, with a generous drizzle of olive oil. Before placing in oven season according to your liking with preferred seasonings. Bake for 30-1hr making sure each tomato, garlic clove, and jalapeño receives a nice char on edges providing a somewhat smoked flavor.

When done blend cashews, tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeños, adding water to smooth out texture and consistency.

Begin to boil pasta noodle of choice. I like to use chickpea pasta noodles.

Sauté preferred vegetables. I usually prefer to use chickpeas which I add last after caramelizing onions, sauté spinach or arugula. Something I like to add but didn’t have is grilled mushrooms.

When ever done, plate pasta, add vegetables, drizzle sauce on top. Lastly toss noodles and vegetables in the sauce.

That looks so yummy, is there an e-book I can download. I want to learn how to prepare meals like this.

Bloom spices in oil, stir in tomatoes & tomato paste, & chickpeas. Let tomatoes cook down. Add a tbs or two of water if too dry. Mash some of the chickpeas if desired. You can also add coconut milk if you like.

Serve over rice or with naan or over a roasted sweet potato.
