• 1.5-2 cups (168.75 g) cooked Whole grain Penne or any pasto of choice
• 1.5 cups (136.5 g) broccoli florets blanched

For the cream sauce:

• ⅓ cup (43 g) raw cashews soaked in water for atleast half an hour
• ⅓ cup (83.33 ml) water
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
• ¼ teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) salt or to taste
• few teaspoons evoo

Doritos Spice Mix: Gluten-free

• 1-1.5 Tablespoon (1 Tablespoon) nutritional Yeast
• 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes or 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ to 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) cayenne
• 1 teaspooon paprika to taste/color
• a generous pinch of salt
• a generous pinch Rock salt/Kala namak optional, if using lemon juice for wet uses. Not optional for dry spice since it does help add the sour. you can try lemon zest instead
• You can add Daiya cheddar or yellow mustard powder for cheddar lemon zest, dried parsley for ranch, red chili/black pepper for the spicy variations.

Topping Crumbs:

• Toasted Bread Crumbs or Toasted Oats and rice flakes coarsely ground.(1.5-2 Tablespoons)

• Mix the doritos spice mix or blend in grinder to get a well blended mix. Taste test and adjust.

• Cook the Penne per instructions. Blanch the broccoli(cook 3-4 minutes in boiling water, then rinse in cold water).

• Blend the soaked cashews with enough water to make a smooth cream.

• Add lemon juice, salt to taste and half of the Doritos spice mix to the cashew cream.

• You can just toss the pasta and broccoli and serve at this point. I usually like to heat everything a bit so the spice taste comes out more and cashew cream doesnt taste raw.
