Units
Scale
- 1 + 1/4 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, coconut, soy)
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 10 oz fettuccine pasta (gluten-free or grain-free if needed)
Instructions
- Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add cashews to a bowl. Pour boiling water over the cashews and soak for 20 minutes. Drain the water.
- Add soaked cashews, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, garlic cloves, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- Cook pasta according to the package. After, drain the water and transfer pasta back into the pot.
- Pour alfredo sauce over the pasta and gently toss to combine.
Notes
- Use your favorite type of pasta! Any variety can be used instead of fettuccine.
- I always recommend adding 2-3 tsp of salt to the boiling pasta water. It enhances the flavor and makes all the difference.
