Simple Cheese Sauce

Ingredients:

1 cup raw cashew nuts (“light” cheese option: Use only ½ cup cashew nuts plus 1 tablespoon cornstarch.)

2 cups water

½ large or 1 small red bell pepper (or ¼ cup canned pimentos or red peppers)

1 ½ teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 tablespoons food yeast flakes (optional)

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Directions:

Blend smooth (about 2 minutes). Cooking Tip: For older blenders, sometimes it is helpful to cover the cashews with just enough water to blend thoroughly and then add the rest of the ingredients. Pour into a pot, bring to a boil, stirring until thick.

Notes:

Use for pizza, lasagna, burritos, etc.

Yield: 3 cups
