Let me tell you a little something about me or to be more exact, about my weekends! I love lazy, comfy weekends with movie nights and good food (who doesn’t)! Most people when watching a movie have some pop corn, chips, pizza or nachos. I, on the other hand, love having a big bowl of pasta! There is nothing more comforting than pasta along with a movie (at least for me!). So today’s recipe is one of those Saturday movie nights recipes! Pasta in a creamy and spicy cashew sauce yu will absolutely love! Rich and velvety, with lots of freshly cracked pepper (you gotta love black pepper!). Easy to make – ready in less than 30 minutes- and so comforting! Give it a go and let me know what you think!
