  3. In a blender, combine basil, avocado, spinach, reserved pasta water, cashews, lemon juice, garlic, nutritional yeast, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth, adjusting consistency with water as needed.
  4. Transfer the sauce to the pot with the drained spaghetti and toss together until well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more pasta water if desired.
  5. Serve topped with roasted cherry tomatoes. Enjoy your meal warm and creamy!
