CREAMY CASHEW AND GARLICKY KALE PASTA R45 PER SERVING Woolworths’ concentrated stock adds great depth of flavour, so don’t compromise on it. Blend the sauce until almost smooth, you want to keep a bit of cashew texture, which also keeps the sauce lighter. If you’d prefer a super-smooth, velvety sauce, blend for longer for a rich, creamy finish. Soak the cashews for as long as possible before blending. COOK’S TIP
