Ingredients
For the pasta:
- 1 lb ditalini pasta
For the soup base:
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
- 4 garlic cloves (minced for best flavor)
- 1 large sweet onion (finely diced for quick cooking)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian herbs
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (California Olive Ranch is a good choice)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 cup raw cashews (soaked for 30 minutes if you have time)
For the garnish:
- 1 cup fresh parsley
Step 1: Cook the Ditalini
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Once boiling, cook the ditalini pasta according to the package directions.
When done, drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Garlic and Onions
In another pot, heat some olive oil over low heat.
Add the garlic and onions and sauté them for about 6 to 7 minutes until they become soft and begin to shimmer.
Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3: Prepare the Tomato-Cashew Sauce
After the garlic and onions have sautéed, add diced tomatoes, cashews, vegetable stock, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot.
Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for 25 minutes.
Step 4: Blend the Sauce
Once the sauce has finished cooking, carefully remove the pot from the heat.
Transfer the vegetable mixture to a blender, or use an immersion hand blender directly in the pot.
Blend on high until the sauce becomes thick and creamy.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Toss the cooked ditalini with the creamy tomato-cashew sauce until the pasta is well-coated.
Serve the dish hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley or basil.
Enjoy your meal!
