Preparation
Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Then, add the onion and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often.
Next, throw in the carrots and tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add the water and mix everything well, then let it come to the boil.
Turn down the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, until the carrots are tender.
Transfer everything into a blender and purée. Pour most of the sauce back in the pan - leave a small amount in the blender.
Drain the soaked cashews and put them in the blender with the leftover sauce, then purée until the mixture becomes thick and creamy. Add this to the pot with the sauce.
Simmer for another 5 - 10 minutes to reduce and thicken.
Season, stir well, then serve with your favourite pasta.
