Aline’s Suggestion
- If the sauce gets to try, add up to 120ml (1/2 cup) more water.
- You could substitute the cashew cream with other dairy-free cream or with whipping cream if you are not vegan. But the nutty taste of the cashew cream gives this pasta recipe a delightful flavor, which you would miss if you substitute it.
- Using the oil, in which the sun-dried tomatoes are packed in, gives your pasta a richer tomato flavor and is a great way to use up the oil.
