*If you need this to be both gluten and soy-free, make sure to double check the ingredients on your GF pasta as some brands contain soy.
**There is enough sauce here to generously coat 1 lb of dried pasta. If you want to add a moderate amount of mix-ins (wilted greens, a small head of broccoli), there is room for that. If you'd like to add a larger portion, I suggest cutting back the pasta to 12 oz to ensure enough sauce to go around. Some of my favorite additions to Veggie Mac include: roasted broccoli, spinach, and roasted tofu cubes.
***Because of how thick and viscous this sauce is, I would not recommend using a regular blender. I haven't yet tested this, but I imagine it may work in a food processor if you substitute ⅓ cup of raw cashew butter for the whole raw cashews listed in the recipe.
