Vegan Alfredo Sauce
Plant-Based Creamy Alfredo Sauce Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw cashews, soaked for at least 2 hours and drained
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- Juice of one lemon
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions:
- Begin by soaking the raw cashews in water for at least two hours. Once they are soft and plumped up, drain them and set aside.
- In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant.
- In a high-speed blender, add the drained cashews, sautéed onion and garlic mix, unsweetened almond milk, juice from one lemon, nutritional yeast flakes, salt to taste and freshly ground black pepper.
- Blend all ingredients together until you get a smooth sauce without any lumps. If the sauce is too thick for your liking, feel free to add more almond milk to thin it out.
- Taste test your sauce: if it needs more flavor you can add more nutritional yeast for cheesiness or more lemon juice for acidity.
- Your plant-based creamy alfredo sauce is now ready! Pour it over your favorite pasta or vegetables – it’s perfect for a comforting dinner that’s not only vegan but also incredibly delicious.
- It’s best served immediately while still warm, but you can also store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days – just reheat gently before using again!
