Method

Step 1

Bring 2 pots of water to a boil. In one pot, add the cauliflower and cashews. In the other pot, add the Barilla Rotini pasta. Cook the Barilla Rotini pasta according to package directions until al dente. Cook the cauliflower and cashews for about 10-15 minutes, until they are both soft.

Step 2

Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Steam the bell pepper in a microwave or veggie steamer for a few minutes until soft, then put under the broiler for 20 minutes until it's slightly charred (flipping halfway through).

Step 4

When the cauliflower and cashews are soft, add them into a high-speed blender with the canned coconut milk. Add in the nutritional yeast, garlic, and roasted pepper. Blend sauce on high until completely smooth.

Step 5

Toss Barilla Rotini pasta with the sauce and enjoy!

Rotini

Rotini, (meaning "twists"), are two-inch lengths of thick, corkscrew-like pasta from Northern Italy. Its playful form adds visual intrigue to dishes, while its texture captures sauces and dressings with ease, making it a versatile option for salads, casseroles, and pasta bakes.
