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.

Can the nuts be soaked at all? And if so, do they need to be dehydrated before blended?
The Rawtarian

Hi Kai,
No, don't bother soaking unless your blender is crappy.
If you must soak, soak for a couple hours in the fridge, then rinse until clean, then pat until quite dry with a clean tea towel (so that you're not introducing a bunch of extra water to the recipe). use immediately

Raw alfredo sauce recipe
This recipe is AMAZING! I am not a pure raw foodie but am constantly trying to get more raw food into my families diet and get bored with salads. This is a great addition to our menu. We served it on kelp noodles (our first time trying those too) and I really enjoyed the little crunch they have. Neither of my kids were impressed, but with time and persistence I'm sure they will come around :)

TJM, glad you enjoyed! To get rid of the crunch of kelp noodles, you can put the sauce on first, stir well, then let sit for a few hours - they'll soften

This stuff is great!! Original is great! We also made half to add 2 romas, 4 sun-dried tomatoes, & crushed pepper.. Forgot to add sweet red pepper that would've made it perfection! Soo delicious thank you! I'll have to Dh some to use as Parmesan! Great idea!

Love it. The recipe makes a HUGE amount, I wonder if it would freeze? I prefer less garlic because I'm not hugely keen on it. Very quick to make and is very tasty.

Definitely freezable. Also, you can dehydrate it and use it as raw parmesan cheese :)

Jennifer, the only nut that will do instead is macadamia nuts

Raw alfredo sauce recipe
Made this today, and it was great except I'm not a huge fan of thyme...can't wait to try it with fresh basil or rosemary...or maybe just copious amounts of black pepper! And can't wait to try it with a vitamix instead of my sub-par blender...I'm sure that'll also make a difference!
The Rawtarian

Hi Mel! You'll love the Vitamix if you get one. I too had a sub-par blender for my first 6 months fully raw. They are awesome and worth it when you can swing it.
If your blender really sucks, next time you can try soaking the cashews in warm water for 45 minutes or so before blending (to soften them up). (Pat dry before using.)
I love Thyme, but I have a few things that I really can't stand. Like pears! We all have our preferences. We humans are fascinating!
Your alfredo looks yummy. Can I have a bite? :P
