Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.

Trim the ends of the zucchini and slice into half-inch rounds. Finely chop the garlic cloves.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced zucchini and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and zucchini is lightly browned.

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes and simmer for 3 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble.

In a blender or food processor, combine the zucchini-tomato mixture, coconut milk, smoked paprika, 4 of the fresh basil leaves, salt, black pepper, and raw cashews. Blend on high for 2 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Adjust seasonings by adding more salt, black pepper, or smoked paprika to taste.

Pour the sauce over the cooked fusilli pasta and gently mix until well combined.

Garnish the dish with the remaining fresh basil leaves, torn or sliced, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
