The sauce in this recipe is really delicious. I plan to make it and pour it over gluten-free pasta and then bake it that way as I find th texture of the quinoa a little slimy. Thanks very much for this recipe.
OMG... Yummo! The sauce alone is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS - I'll definitely be recreating this recipe regularly
Thanks soooooo much for sharing 
Great recipe, I wasn't the biggest fan of the flavour, but others who tried it said they thoroughly enjoyed it. It did freeze well
Delicous! That sauce is to die for. My taste buds were in heaven! Love the different textures as well. Making this one again. mmmm. Thanks for sharing!
Made it last night, delicious
great base to any flavour combination
This was so yummy, I planned to try freezing it but there was none left
I didn't have enough cashews so used a combo of peanuts, macadamia and cashew. Is a great base to add other things like cheese and bacon or tomato. Obviously that makes it NOT GF, DF or vegan
Love this recipe. The first time I made it we were out of spinach, so I added some baby kale instead. I also use the sauce recipe now to use on potato and pasta bakes. The whole family loves it
