Cashew Alfredo Sauce
This creamy vegan cashew Alfredo sauce recipe is smooth, rich, delicious, and so easy to make!
Servings: 1 cup
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup raw cashews or macadamia nuts (unsalted)
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 8 oz pasta or vegetables of choice (optional)
Instructions
- If you have time, start by soaking the cashews in a bowl of water for at least an hour. Drain and pat fully dry. This step is not required but increases the creamy texture of the sauce. Blend all ingredients in a high speed blender until completely smooth. (If you do not have a high speed blender like a Vitamix, swap the cashews for half a cup of raw cashew butter and use any blender or food processor.) Taste, then add more salt or seasonings as desired. The cashew Alfredo sauce should look thin. It will thicken considerably in the fridge or when heated. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to a week.View Nutrition Facts
