Easy Grated Cheese Substitute...real tasty, too!!

Most of us want to cut down on high fat foods...and unfortunately, cheese is a high fat food.  I use to (and still do!) love cheese, just eat very little of anymore.

I made a Quinoa & Rice Pasta (I used Rotini, it seems to hold the sauce better), used a Vegan Marinara Sauce and topped it off with the following "faux grated cheese."

In a high speed blender (i.e. Vitamix), blend 1 1/2 cups of raw cashews, the lemon zest of one lemon/choppedand a pinch of Sea Salt.  Blend until the consistency of grated cheese.  Sprinkle on top of your pasta...

Try it...you might like it!!  -:)
