For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture. Soaking the cashews in hot water for 30 minutes before blending will result in an even smoother and creamier sauce. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta, such as shells or rotini. This dish can be prepared ahead of time. Simply assemble and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
