Time 15 minutes
Tools
  • blender
  • medium saucepan
  • whisk
Ingredients
  • 4½ c cashew cream  (or 4 c water + ½ c cashew butter)
  • ½ c white wine
  • ⅓ c nutritional yeast
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 t salt
  • 1 t nutmug

Notes The classic recipe featuring alfredo sauce is of course fettucine alfredo – this is enough sauce for about 16 oz (one pound) of pasta.

Alfredo sauce is also amazing in spinach-based dishes like crêpes florentine (shown) and spinach lasagna.

Variations: Add peas and/or mushrooms.
