Ingredients
For the sauce:
1 ½ cups raw cashews
¼ cup lemon juice (about 1 ½ lemons)
¼ cup nutritional yeast
4 cloves garlic
2 cups plant-based milk (such as soy or almond)
½ teaspoon chili powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt (or to taste)
For the topping:
¾ cup bread crumbs
1 tablespoon melted vegan butter
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
¼ teaspoon chili powder
For the pasta:
4 cups penne or other short pasta (454g)
12 oz marinated artichokes drained and roughly chopped
½ yellow onion, chopped
11 oz fresh or frozen spinach
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
To make the sauce: you can boil or soak the cashews. To boil the cashews: Cover the cashews with water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, and boil for about 10 minutes until the cashews are very tender, then drain. To soak the cashews: Put the cashews in a bowl, and cover them with water. Let soak for 3-8 hours until very tender then drain.
Add the cashews along with all of the remaining sauce ingredients to a blender and blend until very smooth and creamy.
To make the topping: mix together all of the topping ingredients.
To make the pasta: cook the pasta according to package directions. In the last 30 seconds of cooking time, add all of the spinach to the boiling water along with the pasta. Stir the spinach in until it is all wilted, then drain pasta and spinach together.
Add the pasta and spinach back into the pot, and add the onion, artichoke, and all of the sauce. Stir to combine. Spread the pasta out into a baking dish. Then evenly shake the breadcrumb mixture overtop. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes until hot all the way through, and the breadcrumbs are lightly browned. Serve hot.

The purpose of my channel is to document my cancer journey to look back on, and/or help anyone else going through anything similar. It is also to potentially help loved ones supporting those who are in this fight as well. This is also an easy way to update a lot of people at once. My main goal is to have footage of this journey for my husband and children to look back on. I originally created this channel as a sort of video diary for my
family.

Thank you so much for following along on this journey. Your love and support help me so much.
