Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Thanks to cashews, you can make an ultra-creamy, velvety smooth Alfredo sauce sans dairy! No need to find a specialty item like nut milk, we'll be making our own cashew cream! All you have to do is soak cashews in milk and blend them up. One thing we will say, is that if you know your blender is airs on the weaker side, we'd recommend soaking them for the full 12 hours.

To get that cheesy flavor we used vegan parm and nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is a vegan ingredient thats filled with umami that is often used instead of parmesan. If you can't find the vegan cheese, feel free to add a bit more of the yeast.

Finally, fresh cracked black pepper adds a bright burst of heat; if you’re looking to add more fresh flavor, torn basil or parsley should do the trick. Finally, we know the classic is made with fettuccine but since were already bucking tradition with the sauce, why not try another fun pasta shape! Rigatoni is one of our faves but if you want something long, try bucatini.

Whatever pasta you use, just make sure if you try this recipe you give us a rate and review below!
