Cashew Parmesan ‘Cheese’

This recipe is a vegan alternative to parmesan cheese. It’s made from cashews and nutritional yeast flakes (aka ‘nooch’). Nutritional yeast flakes can be bought from the health food store. Some Coles supermarkets are starting to sell it in the health food section.

I use this as a topping on lentil bolognese, or other pasta. Also as a topping on pizza.
