But, as food blogger life goes, I didn't get around to making it after a while because I was busy coming up with new recipes. Drain cashews, add to your blender with vegetable stock, and process cashews until perfectly smooth, scraping the sides of the blender as needed. Chewy, dense pasta tossed and coated with a silky, garlicky sauce that sticks to every pasta curve in all the right ways. Finished off with the basics - olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes - because sometimes (always) simple is best. Deglaze the pan with vodka, add the heavy cream, some pasta water and the easiest, creamiest, signature orange sauce happens.
