Start off by making your garlic cashew sauce. In a blender combine soaked and drained cashews, chicken broth, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, garlic powder and 1 teaspoon salt. 

Blend until smooth and set aside.

Cook your pasta according to package directions and set aside.

While pasta is cooking, place a large skillet, pot or dutch oven over medium heat.

Add oil to the pan then add in ground meat and break it up to cook evenly.

Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally while breaking up the meat, until browned.  Add in 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon pepper and stir to combine.

Add in the frozen veggies and cook everything until the veggies are soft and the meat is cooked through (about 5-7 more minutes).

Add the cooked pasta into the pot with the meat and veggies then pour the sauce on top and stir it all together to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
