Carbonara

Yes, it is possible to veganize Spaghetti Carbonara! Unbelievable, I know! 
This version is so creamy, tasty, and healthy at the same time :-)
Does not need a lot of prep-work, as you do the sauce while your pasta is cooking.
Just soak your cashews in water over night, or boil them in water for 15 min before blending them up for the Carbonara - Sauce.
