Combine Sauce with Vegetables: Pour the blended mixture into the pan with sautéed onions and tomatoes. Add a bunch of fresh spinach leaves (they will shrink down when cooked). Whisk the sauce on medium-high heat until it begins to thicken.
Add Spaghetti: Add the cooked spaghetti to the pan and toss until evenly coated with the sauce. Cover and cook for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve: Once heated through, serve the Creamy Cajun Cashew Pasta with Spinach hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning if desired.
Tips:
Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning and dried arbol peppers according to your spice preference.
For a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine mesh sieve before adding it to the pan.
Substitute tapioca starch with cornstarch if desired, but adjust the quantity as needed for thickening.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.
Serve the pasta with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
