Silky Cashew Alfredo
The swap
Blended cashews replace butter, cream, and Parmesan. (For a nut-free version, use 1 1/2 cups cooked white beans or steamed cauliflower instead.)
Ingredients
Milk hides in breads, broths, and seasonings. Read the label of every packaged ingredient, every time.
Steps
- Cook the pasta in salted water. Save 1 cup pasta water.
- Drain the cashews. Blend with the broth, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon, oil, salt, and nutmeg until completely smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Warm the sauce in the empty pot over low. Add the pasta and toss, adding pasta water until silky.
