Protein-Packed Cheesy Vegan Mac and Cheese

1. Cook two boxes of Banza pasta according to package directions, but undercook it slightly as you will be reheating it later.
2. For the sauce, combine generous amounts of roasted red peppers, hummus, and cashews in a blender.
3. Blend until smooth and creamy. Do not worry about exact measurements; adjust to your taste.
4. Transfer the sauce to a container and let it thicken in the fridge, ideally overnight or for several hours.
5. When ready to eat, combine the undercooked pasta with your desired amount of sauce in a pot.
6. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is coated, creamy, and heated through.
7. Serve immediately, optionally paired with roasted vegetables such as maple roasted Brussels sprouts.
