    I share my Cashew Cream Sauce recipe and it is the perfect sauce for the vegan mushroom ravioli that I stumbled upon in the grocery store. So delicious!

    Lately, I have had a few of you ask me to share more of the things that I eat.

    If you have been following me here for awhile then you may already know that I transitioned into becoming vegan last year...Whoa! I still cannot believe that it has been a year already...that time certainly flew by super fast. Anyway, you may see non-vegan recipes here and that is because I still cook and prepare meals for my family that is not vegan.

    And yes I still cook meat products for them, but I will share with you that I noticed that it has become much easier to prepare a vegan and non-vegan meal at the same time by making few adjustments here and there.

    I have also noticed that my family consumes way more vegetables and my meat grocery bill has decreased significantly. I can usually get 2 meals from 1 pound of meat and that includes having leftovers. I've also been able to incorporate more meatless meals into my mealtime rotation...' Why Hello Meatless Mondays!' Do I miss meat?

    Not really...the only time that I even notice that it is an issue is when I go out to dinner or have meals at a friend's house and I have to make changes so that I can dine out or share a meal with them.

    My hope in sharing more of my meals is that it will change your perception of what vegans actually eat. I am still surprised at the looks that I get when people see me eating more than salads. So with that being said, I will gladly share more of 'What I Ate' with you.

    I have become a huge fan of Kite Hill yogurt (not sponsored), which I buy from Whole Foods. This yogurt is made with almond milk, has few ingredients, and is so rich and creamy.

    To me, it has the texture of custard. So when I came across their ravioli options, I had to give them a try and since I didn't want to top it with a tomato-based pasta sauce I decided a cashew cream sauce would pair perfectly with it.

    This meal was so delicious and filling and I would certainly buy this again as a quick dinner option.

    And yes I did have a big salad mainly made up of greens with this meal.

    Equipment

    • Food processor

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup raw cashews
    • ⅔ cup water
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon nutritional yeast
    • Kite Hill mushroom ricotta ravioli

    Instructions
     

    • Soak cashews overnight or for at least 2 hours, drain, and rinse. If you have a Vitamix or Blendtec blender, then you can skip this part.
    • Pour the cashews into the blender or food processor along with the water, garlic, salt, nutritional yeast, and blend or process until smooth. For a thinner sauce add more water and for a thicker sauce add more cashews.
    • Warm the sauce on low in a small saucepan on the stovetop.
    • Cook the ravioli according to the package instructions. Serve the ravioli and sauce together with your favorite side salad and beverage.

      Hmm... delicious. I like the idea of it being easy to make side-by-side dishes with just a few changes.
      And I love ravioli anything.

        I love ravioli too and I was so glad to find this vegan option. I love cooking a semi-homemade meal when I can...Its so fast!

      Ravioli is one of my favorite types of pasta, but I haven't been able to find any gluten-free spaghetti so it's been a long time since I've eaten some ravioli. If I could gluten-free mushroom ravioli I would be SO Happy 🙂

        Mine too!! I missed having ravioli so I was so glad to find this as an option. Target carries the brand called 3 Bridges that has a gluten free cheese ravioli that I have seen before, not sure if you are able to have the dairy though.
