Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Yield: About 2 1/2 cups alfredo sauce, about 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup raw cashews
1 can full fat coconut milk
2 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp freshly ground peppercorns
sea salt to taste

16 oz gluten free noodles, cooked according to package directions or noodles of choice

Method

Place cashews in a food processor or high powered blender and process until it forms a nut butter. Add the coconut milk, garlic cloves and ground peppercorn to the cashew butter and process until well blended.

You can eat this sauce raw, over zucchini ribbons or place the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat and warm through (cook a little longer if the garlic flavor it too strong, as the garlic warms it will mellow). Serve heated sauce over your favorite noodles, and enjoy!

RECIPE NOTES:

*If you prefer a thicker sauce, add 1 TBSP of garbanzo flour as you heat the sauce, it will thicken right up.
*Add steamed broccoli, wilted spinach, or sautéed mushrooms for a heartier dish.
