How To Make Vegan Alfredo Sauce

The best vegan alfredo sauce you can make, it is rich and creamy, loved by young and old. It is very easy to make vegan alfredo sauce.

Cook pasta according to package directions. For the last 3 minutes add asparagus, bell pepper, and green peas to boiling water and cook for 2 minutes.
Drain pasta and rinse with cold water.
Place cashews that have been soaked, water, onion, garlic, yeast flakes, and salt in a blender.
Process until smooth, scraping downsides.
Add the sauce to the cooked pasta and veggies.
For gluten-free pasta, my go-to is Trader Joes’ Brown Rice Penne – economical and uses whole grain.
