Creamy Beetroot Alfredo

You will need:

• 16 oz pasta of choice, cooked and drained
• 2 large beets, peeled and roasted for about 1 hour
• 1 cup white onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3/4 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour
• 1/2 to 1 cup plant milk
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Add a bit of olive oil to a skillet and bring to medium heat. Sauté onions for about 3 minutes, or until translucent.
2. Lower heat to medium low and add minced garlic to skillet. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3. Roughly chop the roasted beets and add to a blender along with onion, garlic, cashews, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper and 1/2 cup plant milk. Blend on a high setting, adding more plant milk 1 tbsp at a time to achieve desired consistency.
4. Serve warm over pasta. Garnish with vegan parmesan for a more authentic look.
