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.
