Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups cashews
  • 2 cups unsweetened dairy free milk (oat or cashew is great)I
  • 1 cup Dairy Free Parmesan cheese (homemade or store bought)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1 lb pasta noodles *use gluten free if needed* (or see above post for options to use other than sauce)

Instructions

  • In a very high powdered blender, like a Vitamix, you can just add the cashews to the blender and proceeded with the recipe without soaking. 
    If you do not have a high powdered blender:
    Soak your raw cashews by placing them in a jar and cover with water for 6-8 hours or overnight.  
    *If you need this recipe faster, boil the cashews in water for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and continue with recipe. 
  • Once your cashews are ready, place all the ingredients into a high powdered blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • If dairy free Alfredo sauce recipe is too thick, drizzle a little more unsweetened almond milk inside until desired consistency. Remember, this is supposed to be a thicker sauce as you really want it to coat and stick to those favorite pasta noodles of yours. 
  • Pour sauce onto hot pasta noodles or place into an air tight container for up to 1 week and place in fridge until ready to use. Sauce will thicken upon being in refrigerator.
