Vegan Tomato Cream Sauce


1 can chopped, fire roasted tomatoes
1/2 cup white beans
1/4 cup cashews, soaked 2+ hours
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 cup + 1 tbsp almond milk
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.  This has a great texture and flavor. It can be tossed with any type of pasta, put over grilled chicken, quinoa or veggies (broccoli is my favorite so far!).  Fast, easy, nutritious and no added sugar or oil.
