PENNE AND BROCCOLI IN DORITOS CREAM SAUCE, TOPPED WITH DORITOS SPICED BREAD CRUMBS.

Steps:

• Mix the doritos spice mix or blend in grinder to get a well blended mix. Taste test and adjust.
• Cook the Penne per instructions. Blanch the broccoli(cook 3-4 minutes in boiling water, then rinse in cold water).
• Blend the soaked cashews with enough water to make a smooth cream.
• Add lemon juice, salt to taste and half of the Doritos spice mix to the cashew cream.
• You can just toss the pasta and broccoli and serve at this point. I usually like to heat everything a bit so the spice taste comes out more and cashew cream doesnt taste raw.
• In a pan, add 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, heat on medium.
• Add the broccoli and toss for a few seconds.
• Add the pasta and the cashew cream. Mix well. Cover and let it start to bubble on low heat. (1-2 minutes).
• Taste test and adjust spices and salt and take off heat.
• Mix some of the Doritos spice with bread crumbs or crumbs of toasted Oats and rice flakes.
• Sprinkle the crumbs on hot pasta right before serving!
