Serve the vegetable cashew saute immediately over the cooked whole wheat rotini. Garnish with extra cashews or a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if desired. (Time: 2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, toast the cashews lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the skillet.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference or what you have on hand. Snap peas, zucchini, or asparagus would all be great additions.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
This dish is also delicious served with brown rice or quinoa instead of pasta.
For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free pasta or rice noodles.
