Vegan OG Alfredo Sauce
A rich, creamy, cheesy, vegan alfredo sauce perfect for fettuccine alfredo and breadstick dipping, Olive Garden style. Recipe by The Friendly Feast
Ingredients
Cashew Cream
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight or boiled in water for 10 minutes)
- 2 cups water
Alfredo Sauce
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 2 tsp garlic powder (or 3 cloves minced)
- 2 cups cashew cream (prepared beforehand; alternatively you can use store bought milk)
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 T nutritional yeast
- 1/2 cup vegan parmesan (I like Follow Your Heart brand)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cashew Cream
- Blend cashews and water on high until completely smooth. Set aside.
Alfredo Sauce
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add all ingredients except for parmesan and bring to a simmer. Add parmesan, salt, and pepper and serve.
Notes
You don't have to make cashew cream if you don't want to-- thicker store-bought *unsweetened, non-vanilla* milk will do just fine.
This is just the right amount for half a box of pasta. Or you can be cool and bring it in a Tupperware to a restaurant. You do you.
