VEGAN CASHEW ALFREDO SAUCE
As someone who is lactose intolerant and loves Italian cream-based sauces, I have searched high and low for a decent, easy to make recipe for vegan/non-dairy alfredo sauce. I have experimented with as many of the ones I could find on the internet and have finally come close. I have used this on pasta tossed with sauteed veggies, and as a white sauce (bechamel sauce) in lasagna. It doesn't reheat well in the microwave, but will re-heat on the stove on low for 5 minutes. There are many variations out there but I am pretty happy with this one. You can add spices to change the flavor.

Steps:
- Soak cashews in 1 1/2 cups water until softened in a bowl, at least 20 minutes.
- Drain water; add almond milk. Blend mixture in an electric blender or food processor until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add water until sauce is slightly thinner than you want it for the final product, as it thickens when heated. Add garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth.
- Pour mixture into a saucepan. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through and desired thickness is achieved, about 5 minutes. You can add additional water or almond milk if sauce becomes too thick.

DAIKON 'FETTUCCINE' WITH CYNDI'S VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE
I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts.

Steps:
- Start with the sauce. Put the tofu and garlic into a food processor and whiz until smooth. Then add the almonds and basil and whiz again until as smooth as possible.
- Add the lemon juice and enough of the water - or more - to got a creamy consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a saucepan and set aside.
- Bring half a saucepan of water to the boil. Meanwhile, cut the daikon into long, thin ribbons by running a swivel potato down the length.
- Put the ribbons into the boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for about 4 minutes, or until al dente. Drain immediately and return to the pan.
- While the daikon is cooking, gently reheat the sauce.
- To serve, either add the sauce to the daikon and mix well, or toss, the daikon in a little olive oil, serve out onto plates and pour the creamy sauce over the top.

VEGAN SPEEDY ALFREDO STYLE SAUCE (NO TOFU)
Came by this on veganyumyum.com - and it lives up to the website's name. This really is a quick one, not fancy by any means, but I think it's tastes pretty fantastic. Apart from a bit of fresh lemon juice and garlic, these items are pantry staples for most vegetarians or vegans. You want to be careful not to overcook the sauce. I found the flavours were better raw, much more mellow when I had cooked it with some leftover pasta. So I'd recommend really gently heating the sauce. If you're looking for a really traditional "cheesy" sort of flavour, keep in mind this won't be exactly it, but it is savory and cheese like....I guess as cheesy as you get vegan wise. Well, you know what I mean. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. I used my "Magic Bullet" and it worked just fine. Depending on your blender or processor, you might have some cashew lumps, which you can always strain out if you want to.
- Heat gently and toss with steamed broccoli or cooked pasta -- or anything you like!

Steps:
- Place cashews, 1/2 cup water, garlic, nutritional yeast, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper into the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Puree until completely blended, 1-2 minutes. The sauce should be the consistency of eggnog, buttermilk, or a thick heavy whipping cream. If it's thicker than that, add 2 tablespoons of water at a time until you get it there. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Cook and drain pasta or gnocchi and add back to the pot. Pour sauce over the top and toss until gnocchi or pasta is coated. Add herbs if you like and serve!

QUICK VEGAN PESTO ALFREDO SAUCE
Healthiest alternative to alfredo and it's easy to make. Just blend ingredients together and heat. I adapted this from my Creamy Vegan Pesto Pasta with Broccoli (Recipe #241451) to a simpler recipe. Tried it today with my Walnut Meatballs (Recipe #239125) and it tasted terrific! My husband has always been an alfredo lover and we both love the added taste of pesto in this creamy sauce (I don't think it would taste as good without the pesto). Hard to believe it's as good for you as it is! My husband also likes to sprinkle some parmesean cheese in the sauce. Though not vegan anymore it does taste great with it still being much healthier than most creamy sauces.
