Things to keep in mind for the Dairy-Free Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce
- You have to start by soaking the cashews in hot water. Leave them soaking while you are preparing the rest of the ingredients for the Alfredo Sauce.
- This awesome sauce will really come together when you sauté the white and green onion with garlic, olive oil, black pepper, salt, mushrooms and fresh parsley.
- Blend the cashews with the water it was soaking in, adding salt and pepper.
- Add the blended cashew paste to the sautéd veggies. The combination of this mixture will turn into this recipe, in a very nutritional and yummy option!
- Make the pasta according to package instructions. We will serve the sauce when it is done!
NOTE: (See the recipe card at the bottom of this page for full amounts and instructions.)
Tips:
- For a more creamy texture, you can add 1 cup of unsweetened vegan milk if you like.
- You can garnish your Alfredo Fettuccine Sauce with vegan parmesan cheese.
- if you want a stronger cheesy flavor, add 4 tbsp of nutritional yeast when you’re blending the cashews!

- Cocina la pasta de acuerdo a las instrucciones que leas en el paquete que compraste. Servir inmediatamente.
TIPS:
*Para una consistencia mas cremosa, puedes añadir 1 taza de leche alternativa que sea sin endulzar. Puedes utilizar la que tengas.
*Puedes guarnecer la salsa Alfredo con la pasta Fettuccine poniendo queso parmesano( vegano o régular).
*Si quieres un sabor a queso más intenso, añade 4 cdas de levadura nutricional cuando estés lícuando los marañones.
