1/2 lb. pasta

1/8 tsp turmeric
1/4 cup vegan cream cheese (used garlic chive flavor)
1 cup warm vegetable broth
1 tsp kosher salt
Pepper to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. In a separate saucepan at the same time, boil the cashews. While they are cooking, gather the other sauce ingredients. When the pasta is done, drain but reserve 1/4 cup pasta cooking water. Drain cashews, add them to a blender along with remaining sauce ingredients. Add sauce back to hot pasta. Stir well, add bit of pasta water a little at a time if desired, to thin the sauce. Serve, top with chives and paprika or cayenne if desired.
