Wonderful comfort food from the Mediterranean! Super easy and delicious!

First of all, soak 4 tbsp of cashews in how water.

Pre-heat the oven 180C (with fan).

Half cook 500g of wholemeal pasta (I usually use fusilli).

In the meanwhile, in a big pot, water fry one chopped onion and one garlic head minced or crushed (I love garlic, but you can put less if that’s your taste).

After about 10’, add

• 2 tins of diced tomatoes
• 6 tbsp of green olives
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp provence herbs
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper

Cook for 10 more minutes. Take out of the stove and mix with the pasta.

In the meanwhile, prepare the no-cheese sauce. Put in a smoothie blender:

• 1 onion
• the drained cashew nuts
• 1 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 turmeric powder

Mix in the blender until smooth.

Take out a large baking dish and spread evenly the mix of pasta and sauce. Top up with no-cheese sauce. Bake at 180C (with fan) for 25 minutes.
