Ingredients:
- 1 pound of your favorite pasta (whole wheat shells are a great choice)

- Optional: a clove of garlic
- Herbs and salt to taste
Instructions:
- Start by cooking your pasta as per the instructions on the package.

- Stir in half of the cashew cream you prepared earlier, saving the other half for another recipe. Keep stirring until the pasta mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
