Ingredients:

Sauce:

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked in water for at least two hours
  • 20g (1Tbsp) Tahini
  • 3g Nutritional yeast (can be omitted but give a 'cheesy-er' flavour) not to be confused with baking or brewer's yeast

  • 1 Tbsp dijonaisse (or musard)
  • ½ large onion finely diced
  • 4 sliced shortcut bacon, thinly sliced with fat left on

  • 6 large zucchinis 
Method
  1. Place bacon and onion together in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and fry until bacon is crispy and onion is caramelised
  2. Drain cashews and place them in a food processor, process until smooth and creamy. Add all remaining sauce ingredients and process until combined
  3. Stir bacon and onion through sauce
  4. Using a julienne peeler or spiraliser, make zucchini noodles with the zucchini (if you don't have a julienne peeler or spiraliser, you can use a potato peeler to make ribbon pasta)
