11 - Plant-based parmesan for topping

# Instructions:

01 - Boil the cashews for about 10 minutes or leave them soaking overnight, then rinse and drain them well.
02 - Roast the beet wrapped in foil with salt and a little oil. Bake at 425°F until soft, which usually takes about 50-60 minutes.
03 - Blend cashews, beet, garlic, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add the beet gradually to adjust the pink hue to your liking.
04 - Prepare the pasta first. Heat the sauce, simmer it with wine, reserved pasta water, and broth. Coat the pasta with the sauce, and sprinkle with vegan parmesan before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Feel free to swap vegan parmesan with parsley.
