Pasta in Cashew-nut Sauce

This is one of my favourite pasta recipe.

200g. pasta(any type)
handful of cashenuts, broken
1/2 onion, cubed
few springs parsely
1 clove garlic (optional)
1 cup milk
boiled vegetables (carrots & green beans), optional
1 tbsp +1 tsp olive oil
black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp ajwain(carom seeds) or oregano
salt to taste

To boil Pasta:
Bring about 1 litre of water to boil. Add pasta, 1 tsp salt & 1 tsp olive oil to it.
Boil the pasta as per instructions on the packet. The pasta should not be over cooked, it spoils all the taste. So make sure you cook it upto the right point.
While the pasta boils you can prepare the sauce.

For Sauce
Grind together cashewnuts, onion, a little parsely, garlic with little milk into a thick paste.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil & add this paste to it. Saute it for 2 min. & add milk. Mix well so that no lumps remain & simmer until thick. Add boiled vegeatbles.

When the pasta is ready drain the water & add the pasta to the nutty sauce. Add pepper & ajwain or oregano. Adjust salt & Mix well.



Serve warm with Garlic Bread.
