Blitz the cashews in the food processor until relatively smooth.
Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Blanch the cavolo nero and garlic clove for one minute, then lift out of the water using tongs.
Add the cavolo nero and garlic to the food processor along with the nutritional yeast, olive oil, a generous pinch of salt and lots of cracked black pepper.
Cook the spaghetti according to pack instructions in the same pot of water. Reserve a mug of pasta then drain.
With the blender running, slowly drizzle the reserved pasta water into the cavolo nero mixture until you reach a loose, pouring consistency.
Combine the pasta and cavolo nero sauce then serve.
