Cashews score with lots of magnesium. This mineral ensures good functioning of nerves and muscles and can be helpful in case of cramps. Calcium and phosphorus are also abundant in the kernels. This combination makes the vegan carbonara a great support for healthy teeth and strong bones.

The vegan carbonara can be prepared with any type of pasta. For a portion of extra fiber and minerals, you can also use pasta made from lentils or chickpeas.
