Recipe Directions

  • 1. Throw all ingredients in the blender and blend 'til they get alfredoey! It'll get really nice and creamy, so keep blending... And you're done!
  • 2. Serve over raw vegan "noodles!"
  • Raw Noodles
  • Of course, you know that raw "noodles" are simply spiralized zucchini or squash. (Or kelp noodles that you buy at a store.)
  • If you don't have a fancy spiralizer nor any kelp noodles on hand, just do what I do: peel the vegetable and discard the peelings. Once all of the tough peel has been removed, just use your vegetable peeler to make "noodles" out of the remainder of the vegetable. I usually discard the really seedy core though. Zucchini makes the best noodles.
  • I'd recommend zucchini. They have the best texture and their taste is quite bland and it takes on the sauce's flavour very nicely. But please don't use cucumber for the noodles! (Cucumbers are too wet; avoid cucumber noodles.)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

I miss cheese, I really do. But I tell ya, this raw alfredo sauce recipe has a cheesy, creamy texture that is oh, so alfredoey.

I can honestly say that I like this alfredo sauce more than SAD (standard American diet) alfredo sauce. HONEST!

If you've tried my raw mayonnaise recipe the taste is quite similar, although this alfredo sauce is quite garlicky, whereas the raw mayo does not contain any garlic. Enjoy this absolutely delicious alfredo sauce recipe.

This recipe is quite large, and it actually keeps in the fridge really nicely.

This recipe works best with zucchini "noodles" (see below for more info) or with raw vegan kelp noodles.

Toppings

Sometimes I top my alfredo sauce and noodles with vegetables. Your taste-buds will let you know what topping you might like to try on your pasta.

My husband prefers broccoli and red pepper. I love parsley, mushrooms, tomatoes, and olives. To each his or her own! Edit: Actually, I love black pepper and parsley and that's it! Simpler is better!

But for your first time just try it simple: raw alfredo noodles and sauce.

Hi Liz, most people find that having nut-heavy recipes for all meals is not well suited to the body and they move towards less and less nut-based recipes the more in tune they get to their body. For me, I usually have no nuts at breaky (usually a green smoothie), not many nuts at lunch, a heavier dinner (nut-based) and then sometimes a nutty dessert.

This sauce has great flavor! I love how quick and easy this was to make. I cut the recipe in half and used my nutri bullet. So yummy over zoodles.
Saving this one to my favorites. Thank you!

This was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend adding the water FIRST in the blender. I had zero issues blending doing it that way. I also saw a recommendation to squeeze the zucchini noodles to get excess water out and that was brilliant. Love this simple recipe so much!

Love this. The Alfredo sauce is better tasting than any alfredo I've ever tasted! I love it over my broccoli and also on top of zucchini noodles!

Didn’t have lemon juice today. So I spiced it up with chilli flakes.

Looks tasty! And like you got a nice texture with your sauce. Your blender must be pretty good!

I made this recipe today. Although zucchini is quite expensive here, in India, I thought I should try out this and I knew cucumber was not a substitute. It came out very well. I didn’t have lemon juice which normally I would. And neither did I have Thyme. But I sprinkled some red chili flakes. The dish was filling and awesome my family was shocked at how well it had come out!!

I'm so glad you were able to make it work - and that it was a hit with your family!!

If you have access to a garden, zucchini can be actually an easy vegetable to grow in the right season. And then you can have free zucchini noodles for a short time, and get your fill :)

Glad you enjoyed the alfredo!

Thanks for this receipt!!! Tasty but blain, my non vegan brother enjoyed it, calls for many cashews, it’s unlikely I’ll make this again

It does call for a lot of cashews - were you able to get a good, smooth texture with your blender?

Haven't had it in the meal yet, but tasted. Good stuff! I know it's probably a little naughty but I imagine it's be good with avocado! Our first time with kelp noodles! I made this fairly successfully in a food processor rather than a blender, haven't replaced my broken one yet.

Nice job, EOV! I'm so glad you liked the sauce.

Mmm kelp noodles - I've gotten out of the habit of buying them. I have a craving for them now that you've mentioned them :)

I meant to ask you if the cashews are soaked before being blended?

Hi Natalie,

No, you do not need to soak the cashews.

Generally, in my recipes, you do NOT need to soak unless it is explicitly stated in my recipe :)

Can I use some other type of nut besides cashews? I love cashews but I don't have them on hand.
