Ingredients

For the sauce

2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup raw cashew nuts
1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed chili flakes
1/4 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (carton/tetra pack)
1/4 cup water

For the spaghetti

1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped garlic
4 whole dry red chilies
2 1/2 cups whole wheat spaghetti (boiled and drained)

Instructions

In a blender combine all the sauce ingredients and blend it smooth.
In a wok/pan warm up olive oil. Add garlic and broken dry red chilies.
Toss in spaghetti and saute for 1 minute.
Fold in the broccoli cheese sauce and mix very well.
Adjust salt and let it cook for a couple of minutes. (Do not overcook).
Adjust salt as per your taste and serve warm with your choice of herbs sprinkled on it.

Notes

I used tetra pack of coconut milk which is lighter in consistency. If you use canned coconut milk then increase the quantity of water by ¼ cup more.
This recipe calls for a thick creamy sauce but feel free to lighten up the consistency by adding more coconut milk or water according to your requirement. Also adjust salt accordingly.
