Steps:

Cook the pasta in salted water according to the package instructions.
Whilst the pasta is cooking start preparing your beetroot sauce. Rinse the sauced cashews and blend them for few minutes.
Then add the rest of the ingredients along with 2-3 tablespoons of the pasta water and blend until you get a nice creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Drain the pasta, add in a large bowl with the beetroot sauce and stir to combine.
Serve with mint leaves and freshly cracked black pepper.

If you haven't soaked the cashews overnight, you can soak them in boiling water for 30 minutes.

Happy cooking everyone!
