How to Make Non Dairy Alfredo Sauce

  1. Add 1 block (14oz) silken tofu, 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for at least 15 minutes), 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond, soy, or cashew recommended), 2 cloves garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes), scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk constantly for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to gently warm and thicken.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup soy parmesan cheese (or more, to taste).
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, or lemon juice for brightness.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta, vegetables, or grain.
