How To Make Cashew Alfredo Sauce (Vegan)
The greatest thing about this creamy cashew alfredo sauce recipe is that it only uses FOUR INGREDIENTS. You really don’t need much more to make this taste so delicious and I love that it is healthy and so easy to make.
First, you need to soften your cashews. If you don’t have any cashews soaking in water (like overnight) and can boil them to soften. To boil them, simply add some water and the 1 cup of cashews into a small pot, bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes until softened.
Once you have softened cashews, drain them and add them into a blender along with garlic (or garlic powder), vegetable stock cube (or vegetable bouillon), nutritional yeast, and water.
Blend on high for a minute or so until creamy consistency. Voila! Cashew Alfredo Sauce!
