Vegan Alfredo Sauce

While the authentic Italian Alfredo sauce is typically made with butter and parmesan cheese, our vegan version is made with plant-based milk, cashews, nutritional yeast and a few other warm ingredients.
This white sauce is rich, creamy and exudes flavours of umami, and the best part? It comes together in under 30 minutes!
Say goodbye to store-bought Alfredo sauce by whipping a batch of your own!
