I have been on a quest to incorporate more real foods into my diet and I think I may have discovered the quickest, easiest and most delicious Creamy Cashew Alfredo Sauce.
I love anything with Alfredo Sauce on it but always feel incredibly guilty and extremely bloated after I ate it. This Cashew Alfredo Sauce was light and delicious.
I have seen a lot of variations of Cashew Alfredo Sauce Recipes on line which seemed complicated but this one is super easy and came out great.
What Kitchen Tools do you need?
- Nutribullet Rx
- Or a Good Blender
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups of Raw Unsalted Cashews
- One Head of Garlic
- A Block of Parmesan Cheese
Preparation Instructions:
Step 1 - Take your 2 cups of Raw Unsalted Cashews and soak them in water for about 30 minutes. Honestly I don't even think that was necessary but I did it anyway.
Step 2 - Take the Cashews and add them to your Nutribullet or Blender or hopefully you have some sort of power blender if not you may want to wait on this recipe until you get one.
Step 3 - Add water to cover the nuts about 2 cups
Step 4 - Roast 1 head of Garlic. I roasted a head of Garlic in my air fryer for about 20 minutes you can also roast in the oven or toaster oven if you don't have an air fryer and once the garlic was soft I added about 5 cloves to my cashew water mix. You can add more or less depending on how much you like the flavor.
Step 5 -Next I had a block of parmesan cheese from which I cut off a decent size chunk and added that to the mix.
Step 6 - Close the lid on the mixer and let it blend. In less than 5 minutes you have the creamiest alfredo sauce. I like mine a little spicy so I added some red pepper flakes into the mix but you can add whatever you like. Be creative with your spices don't be afraid it's all good.
Now if you are wondering what to use it on I sautéed some Zucchini Noodles to keep it all healthy and my husband used it as a dip for his hot wings. Basically anything Alfredo...Fettucini Alfredo, Shrimp Alfredo, Chicken Alfredo have fun and let me know how yours turns out!
