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.

This is the best sauce!! And with kelp noodles, it is a fantastic and healthy meal. I added quite a few leaves of fresh basil so it became more of a creamy pesto...which was delicious with the noodles. I had it cold which was really tasty. I think it would be great with some lettuce and tomatoes, too.

Mmmm the addition of basil sounds awesome. I love basil. I have some growing in my yard but I keep saving it... Not sure what I'm waiting for to use it! I think the basil and creamy taste would go perfect together.

Pleasantly surprised with this recipe, it's tummy!! I used a tablespoon of thyme leaves (vs ground thyme) and it's perfect. Sprinkle a little bit of coarse ground sea salt on when serving and you will get a taste explosion.
Thanks for the recipe and your site.

Yummy yummy yummy! My husband is transitioning into a raw food diet and he almost cried when he was at a party where baked ziti was being served. I found this recipe I was deeply hoping he'd enjoy it as a good replacement for his pasta. He LOVED IT! I tossed this in a bowl with kelp noodles, cherry tomatoes cut in half, some diced basil a sprinkle of salt and pepper - plated, added more sauce on top, a splash of freshly squeezed lemon, another sprinkle of basil and a tiny pinch of salt. Sooo goood!

I'm introducing my dairy-addicted housemate to the joys of a high raw diet at the moment and I've just prepared the sauce to go with carrot and courgette noodles. However, she's a mushroom addict, so I also threw in a splash of truffle oil and three big mushrooms (two blended in, one coarsely chopped). I don't think she's going to miss the dairy taste at all, but even if she does, this recipe's a keeper! I don't tolerate milk well anyway, so it has been quite literally years since I had anything that tasted even remotely like this. Brilliant!

Glad you like! :) Nice work getting the word out to your roomies. You must be presenting things nicely if your roomies are trying and liking :)

And if she's a mushroom addict you've gotta feed her raw cream of mushroom soup! I'll post a recipe for that soon. I've been eating it lately. It's super duper easy.

I had three clean plates tonight - Housemate's BF ended up licking my plate clean when I passed it to him to go in the dishwasher! I think we can safely say it was appreciated. I'm sure the mushroom soup will go down just as well, so I'll keep an eye out for that :)

For the first time in weeks - maybe a month or more? - I don't want to keel over and die after eating a meal!!

I'm currently pregnant with our second child, and I've never been so sick in my life! I've had to cut wheat, dairy, corn, eggs, beef, peanuts....the list goes on. Now when I look at that list, I realise it's all cooked foods. :S Anyway, I was told to go back to eating more raw foods (dabbled with it in the past), but today I was craving rice pasta with butter and parmesan. This TOTALLY kicked that craving's butt! I did change the recipe a bit, to add a tiny hit of prepared Dijon, paprika, and a pinch of nutmeg. I didn't have any nutritional yeast on hand, so I added some Bragg's and a bit of Worchestershire to try and get a similar taste. It's sweeter than regular alfredo without the yeast, but it's totally satisfying.

I cannot thank you enough for posting this!!!

This was delicious. Thank you. I went raw a little over 1 month ago so im in exploratory mode. Stumbled upon your site today and i am very pleased. Chocolatefudge cookies are in the dehydrator now...took your advice and "dipped" into them. So so yummy. Can't wait to try the brownies. Im a big chocolate lover. For the pasta, I used walnuts in place of cashews because walnuts are in the alkaline end of the scale, cashews more acidic. The substitution worked out great. I also added avocado tothe sauce...made it even more rich and creamy. Also added 3 tsp. Nutritional yeast to get a cheesy effect. I topped it with mushrooms parsley and grape tomatoes marinated in thyme sea salt and olive oil, dehydrated for 30 mins. Delicious. Anyway, thank you again. Fettucine alfredo used to be my favorite dish so this was reAlly great for me! Served it with a side of raw "creamed" spinich...my own recipe :) spinich, baby arugula, sea salt black pepper garlic and olive oil, massage until spinich looks cooked. Add half a mashed/processed avocado and mix well. Soooooo gooooooood. Looking forward to ordering the kelp noodles eeeee. Peace Love and blessings :)

Wow, sounds delicious!! I would say with all those substitutions you have coined a new recipe :) I'll have it try it. It really does sound good.

Hope your choco cookies turn out. Yes, get some kelp noodles, you won't regret it! I need to order a new case myself, too. Bye for now Jnana!
