Soak cashews in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain and rinse the soaked cashews.

Add soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and vegetable broth to a blender.

Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

Season with salt, black pepper, onion powder, dried basil, and dried oregano.

Blend again to combine the seasonings.

If the sauce is too thick, add more vegetable broth until desired consistency is reached.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Warm the sauce in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Serve over your favorite pasta, garnished with red pepper flakes.
