Thanks for such a simple and delicious Alfredo sauce recipe.

Really rich and creamy, just as hoped!  Definitely agree about it being simple and delicious.  Just learning more vegan recipes, and glad I tried this one.

Made this tonight, served it on chickpea noodles and steamed broccoli. My husband and I both loved it and have warm happy bellies:). Neither of us are vegan but it was absolutely delicious and will be in our regular comfort food rotation.

Geez Louise, that was one good bowl of pasta with YUMMY sauce. Literally, had only light in the fridge and was worn out after whole teaching day. It took seconds just to blend everything and mix. Two happy and full teachers sending hugs!

I made this for lunch today, it is awesome! I would suggest adding a sprinkling of nutmeg before serving, super yummy!

Amazing! I usually buy the vegan Alfredo sauce but the taste value was never the same. So
I gave up hope on bomb Alfredo sauce pasta.
Today I tried this recipe and OMG it was extremely good. I’m so happy you shared this. Mine wasn’t as  creamy it was more nutty since I used a food processor to blend the sauce so it reminded me of Parmesan cheese but still delicious

So tasty! However,  I'm glad I add only 1/2 tsp salt. ( Brewers yeast was a bit salty) I definitely would make again! Thank you &lt;3

Yes, thank you! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that, haha. I appreciate your response!

This is delicious!  My non-Vegan daughter loves it. 

Does the nutritional info include the pasta?

Thanks again!

This was delicious!!! Thank you. My daughter can’t have any dairy but is missing creamy sauce. The whole family enjoyed this tho. even the carnivores. Will have again. 
I sautéed the onions and garlic while the cashews were soaking, and added some veg. Easy and delicious.

My go-to vegan Alfredo sauce, it's amazing! Must have a high speed blender to get the perfect creamy consistency.

Cashew nuts

Dairy-free milk (homemade cashew milk)

Garlic

Tbsp Nutritional yeast

Nutmeg

Salt

White pepper

Soak cashew nuts in piping hot water for 5-10 minutes. You can do overnight soaking, but if you are in a hurry, boil water in a kettle and soak the cashew nuts for only 5-10 minutes.

When time is up, fill your blender. Add soaked cashews, dairy-free milk, garlic, nutritional yeast, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and blend them until smooth.

You can serve the sauce right away. If you pour it on pasta and veggies and warm them together in a frying pan, the sauce will thicken!
