The Best Vegan Afredo Pasta Recipe

The Best Vegan Alfredo Pasta Recipe made with just 6 ingredients. This recipe is so delicious and is my favorite creamy plant-based Alfredo sauce recipe.

Holy holy holy you guys. This is the ultimate vegan alfredo sauce to make. It doesn’t have any cauliflower in it either like most do.

We are keeping things pretty simple and tasty over here with cashews, broth, onions, garlic and a few other easy ingredients. And this recipe comes together so quickly. You don’t have to soak the cashews overnight, just for a few minutes while you cook the onions and garlic anyways. So you can 100000% prep this as a last minute meal. You know me, I have zero patience when it comes to things like that. Plus sometimes ya gotta be a little spontaneous with what you are eating.

If you are not vegan (like me) and want to add some protein to this dish – you totally can. I love adding some cooked chicken or you can even add some tofu for a meatless option.

This is one of those recipes that tastes super indulgent yet it’s not. And it will satisfy your comfort food craving for something yummy.

I cannot wait to hear what you guys think!!
