The BEST Vegan Alfredo Sauce - Easy + Creamy Recipe
The most delicious Vegan Alfredo Sauce - so creamy and rich, made with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect for pasta, zoodles, veggies, and even pizza!
FIRST - Soak your cashews for at least an hour. This will ensure they are soft for blending and will give you a super creamy sauce. Place them in a bowl and cover them with water. Drain and rinse after an hour.
Add the cashews, the filtered water, the flour, and the seasonings - EXCEPT for the basil and pepper - to a blender. Blend until you reach the consistency of frothy milk and there are no chunks of cashew left.
Pour the mixture into a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a slow boil, stirring frequently as it thickens.
Once it begins to bubble, remove from heat and stir in the basil and cracked pepper to taste.
Toss with the cooked noodles of your choice and top with fresh basil if desired.

Notes
Try brown rice fettuccini for gluten-free noodles! After you drain the noodles, toss them in a bowl with vegan butter for an even more decadent dish. It is worth the calories. Sprinkle with vegan parmesancheeses.
Serve this dairy-free sauce with Spaghetti Squash noodles. Stir in some green peas - more vegetable bonus points. This is also a delicious sauce with roasted asparagus.
Substitute veggie broth instead of water for even more flavor in the vegan alfredo pasta.
