1. Soak the Cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes then rinse and set aside.
2. Boil the Onion, Garlic and Potato for about 15-20 minutes or until fork tender.
3. Blend together the Cashews, Potato, Onion and Garlic along with 1/2 cup water, Nutritional Yeast, Onion Salt, Salt & Pepper and Umami Seasoning.
4. Once the Sauce is blended until creamy, add in the Unsweetend Nut Milk and the thawed Mushrooms and quickly pulse a few times to incorporate the mushrooms (don’t over blend, you want a little bit of mushroom in the sauce).
5. Boil the pasta according to the package directions and just before it’s done, add in the frozen broccoli.
6. In a large bowl combine the cooked Pasta, 1/2 cup Grated Vegan Parmesan, the Fish Free Tuna and Sauce and mix well.
