Step 1

Rinse the lentils until the water runs clear.

Step 2

Add the onion, carrots, cashews, and red lentils to a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 15 minutes, until the carrots are fork-tender. Drain the water and set aside.

Step 3

Cook the pasta in salted water according to the packet instructions. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water.

Step 4

Transfer cooked onions, carrots, cashews, and lentils to a blender with soy milk, tapioca starch, nutritional yeast, paprika, vegetable stock powder, garlic granules, lemon juice, miso paste, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed until perfectly smooth.

Step 5

Transfer the sauce to a large pan (big enough to contain both the sauce and pasta), along with the rosemary sprig, and cook for 5 minutes on medium to low heat, stirring regularly to thicken the sauce.

Step 6

Add the pasta and reserved pasta water. Stir well to coat, and cook for a further 5 minutes. Remove the rosemary, adjust salt and pepper to taste, top with parsley, and enjoy!
