10-Minute Vegan Alfredo Sauce

May 1, 2019 by Dallas Leave a Comment

vegan alfredo sauce on pasta

What’s a food blog without an alfredo sauce recipe?? And what is life without THIS alfredo recipe?!? Incomplete, that’s what.

This vegan alfredo sauce hits all the check points. It’s rich, creamy, garlicky, and velvety smooth. Oh ya, and it’s ready in 10 minutes.

Soak your cashews in boiling water to speed the process. Next, chop your onions and garlic, throw ‘em in the blender with the rest of the ingredients, and PAHZOW. Sauce done. Just boil some noodles and you’ve got yourself one easy-peasy-squeezy-some-lemon-on-top-of-this delicious dinner!

The beauty of a vegan alfredo is that it doesn’t bog down your digestive system with mounds of heavy dairy cream and cheese. The cashew base is much healthier, and it also makes for an instantly thick sauce. No roux required!

B and I pour heaps of this sauce over pasta, but I also love it as a veggie and chip dip. If you think of another creative way to utilize this sauce, please let me know in the comments below!

If you want to play with the flavours in this sauce, you can sauté the onion and garlic first. I have made it both ways, and both are equally delicious. If you do choose to sauté first, use a whole onion instead of a quarter, and a whole bulb of garlic, as the flavours mellow out once cooked.
