Dairy Free Cashew Alredo Sauce

Made this vegan cashew aflredo sauce off the top of my head today and was it fabulous!

Sweet, creamy, smooth, and silky. Who knew dairy free alfredo sauce could be so yummy?

Soak 2 cups of cashews for 2-3 hours
Drain water from cashews
 

Put in blender (or Vitamix if you're so blessed with one) with 
1 1/2 cups of plain coconut milk
1 clove of garlic (adjust for taste)
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp onion powder (adjust for taste)
1 1/2 tbsp of nutritional yeast (what gives it a cheesy taste)
salt and pepper

blend til smooth

Warm up on stove top and if you want a bit more cheesy taste and aren't dairy free, you can melt 1/4 cup of parmesan in it. Best served over angel hair pasta with broccoli and sugar snap peas lightly sautued (still crisp and bright green) in olive oil with salt, pepper, some onion powder
