Basil Cashew Ricotta
The best ricotta full of flavor and super creamy; and it's made out of cashews! This ricotta goes great in lasagna, your favorite italian dish or even crackers.

One of my favorite foods growing up was lasagna so for my birthday that just past in October my husband Sean made me a vegan gluten free lasagna. It was so delicious we've made it multiple times since then. The ingredient that really stuck out in my head was the basil cashew ricotta cheese. By itself and inside the lasagna let me say the it was right on!
I can't get enough of it! The recipe is full of flavor and has the right consistency. Use this cheese as a layer in your lasagna, stuff in pasta shells or cannelloni, spread on toast or crackers or anyway your lil heart desires! <3
Also, this recipe is super easy and fast to make!! :D
Enjoy!! #helladelicious #hellaphatvegan
