Vegan Creamy Chipotle Pasta Recipe Essentials:

* 12 oz. (340g) pasta of your choice (e.g., spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine)
* 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 medium onion, diced

1 Lb. Spaghetti
1 cup Raw Cashews
2 1/2 cups Filtered Water
2 tablespoons Vegan Butter
1 to 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, plus 1 tablespoon. A flavorful and spicy chipotle pepper sauce from canned adobo peppers.
2 Shallots, thinly sliced
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Sea Salt & Fresh Black Pepper, to taste
Fresh Cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Bring salted water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions for optimal results.
Combine the cashews, water, chipotle peppers, freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in your high-powered blender. Blend the mixture until it reaches a silky consistency, a process that typically takes around 2-3 minutes. After blending, take a moment to sample the dish and refine its flavor profile by adding further pinches of salt and pepper as desired. Then, set the blended concoction aside for future use or presentation.
Melted butter gently simmers in a large, deep skillet as aromatic shallots and pungent garlic are combined, cooking over a low flame for five minutes to release their rich flavors. Monitor the mixture closely, gently stirring as needed, to prevent scorching.
As soon as the shallots yield to tender perfection, stir in the silky cashew cream and continue cooking on a moderate flame for 3 to 5 minutes, ensuring a smooth and velvety consistency. As the sauce thickens, take another taste and refine its seasoning to perfection. Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, then toss all ingredients together.
Savor and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, delight in the flavors!
