Ingredients

• 2 heaped cups cauliflower
• 1/2 cup cashews (unsalted and not roasted)
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 1/2 cups unsweetened soy or almond milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened soy or almond milk (add after cooking)
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• salt
• pepper
• freshly chopped parsley
• cooked fettuccine

Instructions

• Cut the cauliflower into florets. Place them in a sauce pan together with the cashews, the garlic, and the almond milk. Add the nutritional yeast. Stir everything with a wooden spoon until well combined.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes. There won't be much liquid left. Transfer everything into a high speed blender. Add the lemon juice, a pinch of nutmeg, apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 cup more unsweetened almond or soy milk as well as salt and pepper.
• Process until smooth. This should take about 30-60 seconds.
• Cook the fettuccine according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.
• Pour the blended sauce into a pan and cook for a minute. Then add the cooked fettuccine and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper again if you want.
• Serve immediately and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

• It's important to have a good high speed blender for this recipe. A conventional blender most likely can't properly process the cashews and your sauce won't be as creamy.
• If you want your Alfredo sauce to be really garlicky, add another clove of garlic. I used two cloves of garlic for this recipe.
• Make sure to use all of the ingredients for the sauce. I experimented a long time with this vegan Alfredo until I was 100 % satisfied.
• It's super important to use unsweetened almond or soy milk. Don't use sweetened milk for this recipe even if it's only lightly sweetened. You will taste it!
• If you want you could also add some veggies like spinach, peas, or mushrooms to your vegan Alfredo sauce.
• I've also got a vegan chicken Alfredo with broccoli on the blog. Feel free to combine both recipes if you want to add a bit more protein to your meal.
