Baked Cashew Cream Vegetable Pasta is packed with delicate flavors and loaded with nutrition.

A spatula showing Baked Cashew Cream Vegetable Pasta Even though its carbohydrate loaded yet it’s healthy and guilt free. Guess why??? I used ancient grain quinoa and sorghum fusilli pasta to induce nutrition into my favorite pasta dish.

It is not new that I am huge fan of pasta and anything pasta just attracts me immensely. I can have pasta for every meal and all 7 days. Yashvi is the same. So we both just gorge on pasta anytime and anywhere. I have been eating pasta since childhood.

My mom always used to hide vegetables in any pasta recipe for me and my brother. She somehow had the techniques to feed us veggies in a delicious way. I wish to do the same with Yashvi to give her balanced nutrition.

Therefore, when I was thinking about this recipe, I wanted something soft, delicate, creamy and flavor packed pasta dish. Since its fall and the air is chilly outside anything warm and baked is always welcome.

How to make Baked Cashew Cream Vegetable Pasta

For this, firstly, I sauteed some herbs and veggies in a greased pan.

Thereafter, I added cashew cream to give it a nice creamy texture.

Afterwards, I folded in healthy grains fusilli pasta.

Lastly, I spooned the pasta into a baking dish and generously covered it with vegan mozzarella cheese (shredded).

Later, I baked it in a preheated oven until the cheese melted nicely.
