Garlic Alfredo Sauce
This creamy white sauce packs major flavor and is so very simple to make.
I look forward to the day when I can grow cashew trees.
I owe this creamy nut a big thank you for many reasons. Whole, roasted, blended into sauces and made into artisanal plant cheese – cashews are at the center of my diet. I suggest bulk buying this nut if you too want to utilize them in many ways. This creamy white sauce packs major flavor and is so very simple to make. Pour warmed on top of your favorite pasta, roasted eggplant dishes and beyond.
I think you’re going to love this one.

- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1.5 cups water
- 1.5 tbsp onion powder

Notes
Soaking raw cashews helps remove a bit of the phytic acid, which in turn – increases the nutrition and digestibility of cashews. Not to mention, it makes for a very creamy cashew. There are a few methods to soaking cashews. Here I used the overnight soak method.
How to soak cashews overnight:
In a large bowl add your cashews and filtered water (1:3 ratio cashew to water). Cover the bowl and place in fridge for 8 hours, overnight. Drain them, store until you use that day in an airtight container – or start using right away!
When heating this sauce in your pan, you may need to add a splash of water, since the heating process releases some moisture
