Vegan | Gluten-free | Soy-free

What makes for the perfect alfredo sauce? For me, it’s the creaminess! And there’s nothing better than a creamy, dreamy pasta sauce! Now, I’ve made this sauce so many times, with different variations: the tofu one, the potato one, the cauliflower one. None of those worked for me! I can guarantee that this combination of cashews & hemp seeds is a winner. Which makes for the perfect vegan comfort food.

This vegan alfredo sauce checks out all the boxes:

• Vegan
• Healthy
• Gluten-free
• Rich in omega-3
• Creamy
• Easy to make

There’s no need for fancy ingredients for this creamy vegan alfredo sauce. Except for the nutritional yeast, you should be able to find everything in any regular grocery store; but many grocery stores also have nutritional yeast these days.
