Directions Vegan Cashew Alfredo Sauce
Directions
-
Soak cashews in 1 1/2 cups water until softened in a bowl, at least 20 minutes.
Drain water, add almond milk. Blend mixture in an electric blender or food processor until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add water until sauce is slightly thinner than you want it for the final product, as it thickens when heated. Add garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, blend until smooth.
Pour mixture into a saucepan. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through and desired thickness is achieved, about 5 minutes. You can add additional water or almond milk if sauce becomes too thick.
