How To Make Vegan Alfredo Food

VEGAN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking water.
• While the pasta cooks, heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil and onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the cashews and garlic and cook, stirring, until they're just starting to color, about 4 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and bring just to a boil.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the nutritional yeast, miso and 1 teaspoon salt. Alternatively, keep the mixture in the saute pan; add the nutritional yeast, miso and 1 teaspoon salt and use an immersion blender. Blend until the sauce is thick, creamy and smooth.
• Return the drained pasta to the pot and toss with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, toss with the reserved cooking water to thin the sauce.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.

VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the cashews to a medium bowl and cover with water. Cover with plastic wrap and let soak, refrigerated, overnight.
• Drain the cashews and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until light golden, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Transfer the mixture to a high-powered blender. Add the cashews, vegetable broth, almond milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Blend until smooth and combined.
• To serve, heat the Alfredo sauce in a large skillet and toss with your favorite pasta and a splash of pasta water.
