▫️400g of wholegrain pasta

▫️1 can of chickpeas ▫️3 cloves of garlic ▫️2 tbsp of olive oil

▫️250 ml of water ▫️salt and pepper ▫️1 tbsp of nutritional yeast

▫️1 tbsp of lemon juice

Method: 👉🏼 Add cashews to the boiling water and let it boil for the next 30 minutes. (You can also soak them a night before. Then you don’t need to boil them.) 👉🏼Cook pasta. 👉🏼 Blend boiled cashews, add 150 ml of water, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. 👉🏼 Add 2 tbsp of olive oil to the pan and roast minced garlic. When the garlic starts getting a golden colour, add rinsed chickpeas. Use a fork to mash the chickpeas, but not until the smooth.
