1 cup raw cashews (soaked 2 hours)
1/3 cup of raw almond milk
1 tablespoon filtered water
1 tablespoon VivAgave (Original)
1 Organic Red Bell Pepper
2 cloves of garlic (3 if you are using small cloves)
1 green onion/scallion
4 T Nutritional Yeast Flakes
2 T Wheat-Free Tamari
1 T Mellow White Miso
Dash of turmeric for color
Sea Salt and black pepper to taste!
1 cap of Liquid Smoke

(While liquid smoke is not raw, it is what gives this sauce a fantastic smoked Gouda taste. You only need a tiny bit of this to impart the smoky flavor so only fill the cap of the liquid smoke and pour into the sauce.)
Blend it up and enjoy poured over your pasta of choice. This also makes a great dip for veggies (add less almond milk for a thicker consistency) or a no-cheese fondue! You can change up this sauce by omitting the liquid smoke and adding your favorite spice combinations like curry, basil, or thyme.
