Sun Dried Tomato Basil Cashew Cream Sauce

My favorite discovery in searching for non-dairy options is definitely the cashew cream.  It has such a yummy, nutty flavor that I can't seem to get enough of!  I made a batch of cashew cream last night to make my banana "cream" pie dessert- sooo good!!  So I used the leftover cashew cream to make a sauce to go over noodles.  This was the best noodle sauce I've made with it, and my husband really liked it as well!  Cael has yet to eat a sauce (however I'm not sure if it was the just the noodles or the sauce as he didn't like the noodles at all tonight)- although he does devour the banana "cream" pie.  I dipped some leftover french bread in this tomato basil sauce to test my experiment.  I found two great uses in one. Make it thick for a dip/spread and make it thinner for a noodle sauce.  Soo YUMMY!!

Ingredients
1/2 c. thick cashew cream
1/3 c. sun dried tomatoes
4 tsp. basil
1 tsp. crushed garlic
3 pinches salt

Combine all ingredients into a blender.  Blend on high until smooth.  Add water until desired consistency is reached.  We made noodles and chopped up chicken and covered it with this sauce.  ENJOY!!
