How to Make Vegan Tomato Alfredo Sauce

Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in hot water for at least 30 minutes), 1/2 cup nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (almond or soy recommended), 2 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding more plant-based milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the blended sauce into the saucepan.
  4. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly thickened.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Serve immediately over your favorite cooked pasta. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley (optional).
