Not only is this Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce nightshade-free, but it’s gluten-free, paleo, and vegan. That’s right, it’s friendly to most specific diets! (Check out my blog post on why you might need to be gluten-free AND nightshade-free)
Made in under 10 minutes (if you exclude the time you spend waiting for the cashews to soak) this recipe is perfect to whip up when you’re in a pinch.
Staying on point though, this Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce makes a great nightshade-free alternative to your typical pasta sauce. Most pasta sauces are made from tomatoes; a famous vegetable of the nightshade family. This pasta sauce however, is made from cashews and pumpkins and thus, is delicious and nightshade free.
What makes this Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce so delicious and creamy are the nightshade-free spices and the soaked cashews. The spices give it punch of flavor while the cashews give it a mildly cheesy taste and creamy texture.
This recipe relies heavily on the pumpkin puree and cashews to carry it. The pumpkin adds a nice sweet flavor while the cashews add a nice nutty and creamy flavor.
If you’re not a fan of cashews, swapping them for 1/2 cup of coconut milk will work just fine.
