Heat 1/4 cup vegetable stock in a large pan, cook the onion on medium heat until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle over the pepper and the dried herbs. Add a little more stock if the pan becomes dry.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chopped tomatoes and stir in the tomato paste. Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and partially cover the pot. Allow to simmer away while you cook the pasta.
Cook the pasta according to the package ingredients.
To make the cashew cream place the soaked cashews in a high-speed blender with 1 cup water, juice, and zest of a lemon, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar. Blend on high until you have a smooth consistency. Taste and add a little more pepper or vinegar if desired.
Take the tomato sauce off the heat. Swirl in 1/2 cup of the cashew cream. Sprinkle over 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs and a little more black pepper. Stir well.
Taste, add more cashew cream if you desire a more creamy texture.
Serve!
