Chef's Note

  • There are so many star ingredients in this dish when it comes to nutrition.  Cashews and whole wheat pasta add a surprising punch of protein and fiber.  Miso and nutritional yeast are both fermented foods and probiotics that support gut health.Miso and nutritional yeast add a fermented flavor that replace the flavor of traditional cheese. Whole, unsoaked cashews bring creaminess to the dish, working well with the flavors of onion and garlic and coming together with mushrooms to provide a great plant-based protein boost.
  • Cacio e Pepe is a traditional pasta dish made with cheese and pepper. We found this simple way of using whole ingredients to create a rich, cheese-like pasta sauce that can be customized to your desire with roasted or steamed vegetables, wilted greens, or other hearty ingredients that balance out the richness of this dish.
