Ingredients

  • 1 cup of raw cashews
  • 3 cups of veggie broth
  • black pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the cashews and veggie broth to a blender. Blend for one minute.
  2. Add the sauce to a pot and heat over medium low heat. Add the black pepper and crushed red pepper (if using).
  3. Add your cooked pasta into the pot, mix well, and serve immediately. You could also use the sauce for this Vegan White Lasagna.

Notes

  • Raw cashews are best: Raw cashews that aren’t roasted or contain added salt make the best vegan alfredo sauce because they give you complete control over the flavors.
  • The sauce will thicken: Keep in mind that this alfredo sauce will thicken after it’s heated on the stove and when it cools in the fridge. To reuse it, stir in a splash of broth to thin the consistency. 
  • Double the recipe: We highly recommend doubling this recipe and storing the extras in the fridge to have handy for creamy pasta emergencies.
