Cheesy Spinach Ravioli Filling

This will yield about 2 Cups of filling that can be used to make ravioli, manicotti, lasagna or whatever you like.  You could also just mound it on top of steaming hot pasta and have a delicious meal.

Cheesy Ravioli Filling
1 Cup Raw Cashews (soaked for 12-24 hours in water)
3 T Nutritional Yeast
1 t Sea Salt
1/2 t White Pepper
1/8 t Ground Nutmeg
2 Scallions (Green Onions)
1 Large Bag Baby Spinach
1/4 Bunch Fresh Parsley (Italian Flat Leaf or Curly)

Begin by wilting spinach in a large pot with water and salt.  Strain and set aside allowing to cool to touch.  Rough chop scallions and garlic and combine with all other ingredients (except spinach) in food processor and blend until fine texture is achieved, scraping down sides as needed. 

Squeeze excess liquid from spinach using your hands or in a lint-free dish towel.  Add spinach to mixture and pulse until desired texture is achieved and spinach is incorporated.  Use immediately or store in a tightly sealed glass vessel in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
