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.

Julia, you are welcome! :)

I just made this and it tastes good... except... I think you ment 1 teaspoon of thyme instead of 1 Tablespoon. It's too strong of a flavor, but not bad. Would be good if less thyme :P

oor maybe I put too much salt on second thought (my salt is strong). I'm not sure!! I'd say just do it to your taste I guess. :P Thanks for recipe :D

Natalie, I totally agree about the thyme!! When I make this for myself I use about 1 tsp (not 1 tbsp) so I have changed the recipe. :)
Thank you for your contribution!!
Also, are you using **sea** salt? (Don't use regular table salt.)
Bye!

OK,
THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I subbed soaked sunflowers for the pine nuts (pine nuts give me "pine mouth" which is awful because the only thing that tastes right when I have it is orange juice and Altoids) and the Tablespoon of Thyme was just right. Because I used roasted cashews the first time, i didn't add the salt, but it could have used it. We also added pepper.
The Hubs loved it on regular noodles, but he took seconds of the zuke noodles, so that means he liked the zuke noodles and sauce better than regular noodles.
I'm making it again tonight. Still with regular noodles for the kids. My children are 2 and 3 and VERY VERY skinny. I don't feel good about cutting more calories from their diet. The kids are also getting some non-GMO free range chicken.

what happens if you used soaked cashews? i'm SUPER new to raw food, but i'm enjoying the discovery! my husband is pretty hungry most of the time, though. poor guy. he loves alfredo so i'll make this with regular noodles for him and the kids.

Soaked cashews are perfect. It'll work fine either way.
Let us know what your DH thinks if you make it. :)
We always like to hear husbands' takes on things :)

What can be used as a pine nut substitute?

Macadamia nuts are a good substitute for pine nuts. I saw this recipe which uses them in a pasta. Keep sharing, the great raw food. Great recipes!

You can definitely simple replace the pine nuts with more cashews!

This looks amazing! I love your site-- discovered it last week and made the rice pudding (which was to die for). I'm excited to try this one too-- I am on a bit of an alfredo kick, but not loving the recipe I currently have. Just wanted to throw my two cents in about cucumber noodles-- don't give up on them!! They can be really amazing! Take some cucumber noodles, throw in a bit of sesame oil and some nama shoyu, mix and top with some chopped almonds. Serve with avocado for an AMAZING meal! It's in Sarma's cookbook.

I was just looking at this recipe again and that seems like a lot of thyme... Is it too much?

I added a little savoury yeast flakes to the mix which gave it a real smokey taste. Outstanding! :)

Dannnnggggg that sounds good! Gotta try that.
(Oh wait, by savoury yeast do you mean nutritional yeast? Cause that's what I was assuming?)

I just discovered your site and love it! But I have one question - what kind of blender are you using that is able to pulverize 2 1/2 cups of nuts? My blender doesn't stand a chance of doing that. Please enlighten me... Thank you!

I use a Vitamix. In my opinion, it's the best blender there is.

Of course, Blendtecs are good too though.

Consuming veg is good for wellness. For people who tend to be concern regarding your own health, you should cease consume meats and go for vegetable right away. Many vegetable recipe now isn't really wellness but are delicous as well. So just attempt for one month even you are afraid of not capable to sustain on it.
