  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese, such as vegan parma (28g)

Place the nuts in a cereal bowl, cover with water, and let sit 6-8 hours. Drain fully, and pat dry. Blend all ingredients (including 1/2 cup water) except pasta and optional veggies in a food processor or high-powered blender until completely smooth.
