Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread cashews in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in oven about 6 minutes, or until golden. Remove and set aside.
  2. Pulse cashews in a blender or food processor until they form a rough paste. Add jalapeno, garlic, ginger and coriander and pulse to once again form a rough paste.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the oils. Add half of the oil plus all of the fresh herbs to the cashew mixture in the blender and pulse to make a paste. Add lime juice and the remaining mixed oils; process until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper, keeping at room temperature.
  4. Pour sauce over hot, drained, cooked pasta and toss to combine thoroughly. Garnish with herb springs if you like and serve immediately.
  5. I also like to toast and chop up a few extra cashews and add them to the dish for a little additional crunch.
