Cashew Cream

I’m all about the ultimate comfort food. Creamy pasta and soups are my best and worst day cravings. The secret? Heavy cream. All of my favorite creamy recipes use it to help thicken and give flavor. After a big bowl of Penne Alla Vodka or Roasted Red Pepper Bisque, this key ingredient sends me right to bed for a nap.
