I learned from a sake lees recipe listed on a Japanese sake brewery website, Terada Honke (http://www.teradahonke.co.jp/sakekasu.htm - Japanese only). Apparently, cooking off the alcohol in the sake lees gives it a cheese-like taste. So I tried making this.
I wanted to create a dish for vegetarians to enjoy a rich, cheese-like flavor.

You don't have to use almond powder, but it helps to bring out the flavor and make it more cheese-like. Recipe by Mama nomanma

Steps

1

Mix the A) ingredients into a puree using a blender, mixer, food processor, etc.
2

Heat the B) olive oil and garlic in a frying pan on low heat. Once the garlic is fragrant, add the vegetables! Flavor with salt and pepper and cook. I like sauteing slowly over low heat, but cook as you like.
3

Once the vegetables have cooked through, add the A) puree. Once it has thickened, adjust the flavor with salt and pepper.
4

Toss in freshly boiled pasta and it's complete!
5

＊Boil the pasta while making the "cream" sauce.
