November 2, 2009: Creamy Boundary Pasta Bake

cashew cream sauces we've discovered this year, I started my shopping listing too moved on to flavourings. Garlic too onion? Done. Then another veges - fennel, celery too asparagus adjust the season. While I would convey dearly loved to add together unopen to lemon juice or mustard to the mix, such acidic accents are really clearly on James' blacklist.

So I gear upwards most roasting too sauteeing veges, blending upwards a sauce too cooking unopen to pasta. While all the elements tasted good, the terminal mix was pretty ugly too a chip gluggy. It looked a chip to a greater extent than enticing when at the in conclusion infinitesimal I decided to transfer it to a baking dish, sprinkle it alongside rice crumbs (our breadstuff had unopen to suspicious 3-digit additives), too bake it 'til the tiptop was a piffling golden too crispy.
