Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Pizza Pasta


What sounds better than a pizza and creamy pasta fusion???? I'm going to go with......nothing!!!  This was creamy, delicious and flavorful!!!  Definitely a do again!!!  YUMMY!!!!

Vegan Grain/Gluten-Free Pizza Pasta
1/2 package Ancient Harvest Quinoa Pasta (linguine or spaghetti is perfect)
1/3 cup Cashew Halves
1/3 cup + 1/3 cup Water
2 teaspoons + 2 teaspoons Herb Stop's Pizza Seasoning
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan Salt
1 tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
1/4 cup Red Onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, pressed

Cook Pasta with 2 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning according to package directions.  In a vita-mix or blender add, cashews, 1/3 cup water, 2 teaspoons Pizza Seasoning and Salt.  Blend until creamy.  In a large skillet, add grapeseed oil and heat until nice and hot.  On low heat, add onion and garlic and sautee until golden.  Do not allow garlic to get dark because it will become bitter.  Add cashew mix and 1/6 cup water.  Mix well until thin enough to use as sauce.  If cashew mix is too thick continue adding water until thin.  Turn off heat and add pasta.  Toss well.  Serve hot with some fresh oregano to garnish.  ENJOY.......
