Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add penne and cook until al dente (about 2-3 minutes less than the instructions on the box). Remove from pot, toss in 1 tsp of oil, and set aside.
1 lb Penne, 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
Add the remaining oil to a large sate pan and turn to medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add onion and saute until tender. About 7 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
1 White Onion, diced, 3 tbsp Vegetable oil, 3 Garlic cloves, minced
Add cashews, onions, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and vegetable broth to a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Add additional broth if needed.
