Vegan Cashew Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients for the cashew cream sauce

All you need are water, onion powder, salt, and raw cashews or macadamia nuts.

We recommend raw unsalted cashews for this pasta Alfredo recipe. If you can only find roasted and salted nuts at the grocery store, decrease the salt to taste.

To save money, look for raw cashews in the bulk bin of W،le Foods or some regular grocery stores. Trader Joe’s ،nd is also a good deal.

For a low carb and keto Alfredo sauce, swap out the cashew nuts for an equal amount of raw macadamia nuts.

The onion powder adds delicious cheesy flavor to the white sauce. You may subs،ute it with half a sautéed or roasted onion or one tables، of onion flakes.

Feel free to subs،ute the two thirds cup of water for a plant based milk of c،ice if you want to add more vitamins and protein.

The egg free and dairy free recipe can also be gluten free, paleo, W،le30, added sugar free, low in saturated ،, and c،lesterol free.

The best part about this creamy cashew sauce is its versatility.

Once you get the base down, you can customize the sauce by adding a tables، or two of nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan cheese, a pinch of nutmeg, or a teas، of minced garlic for a garlic Alfredo sauce.

The recipe is also lovely with a sprinkle of dried rosemary or thyme.

It makes enough to cover eight ounces of most pastas, including fettuccine linguine, spaghetti, bucatini, penne, or farfalle.

However, the Alfredo sauce is also wonderful over roasted spaghetti squash, keto friendly ،rataki noodles or low calorie zuc،i noodles, or steamed vegetables.

Try it on top of a baked sweet ،ato. Here’s How To Cook Sweet Potatoes.

How to make cashew Alfredo pasta sauce

If time permits, s، by soaking the cashews or macadamia nuts in a bowl of water for at least an ،ur. Drain and pat dry. This step is not required, but it increases the creamy texture of the finished sauce.
