Healthy Alfredo Sauce {Gluten-Free, Vegan}
Growing up, Fettuccine Alfredo was a weekly staple in our home. Whenever I see that dish on a menu it brings back such nostalgic memories. However, now being an Integrative Nutritionist, it’s not the dish I tend to order off the menu when I’m out.
A healthy twist on a family favorite
Traditional Alfredo sauce is made with inflammatory ingredients such as dairy or gluten, two items I try to stay away from. That’s why I created this healthy recipe! I wanted to maintain that same delicious and nostalgic dish without that heavy feeling we often get after eating a big plate of gluten-based pasta covered in a dairy-filled sauce.
You’re going to love this EASY Alfredo sauce! It’s gluten-free and made completely of plant-based ingredients. Plus, with the main ingredient being Wildly Organic Cashew Butter, this sauce is packed with protein and healthy fats. Bonus, you can whip it up in 5 minutes, you can’t go wrong! Cooking at home is so easy and enjoyable when you can use real food ingredients from real companies like Wildly Organic that support your wellness goals.

Add all ingredients to a high powered blender while starting to blend at a low speed and slowly increasing to a high speed until smooth. Feel free to add more water if you like a thinner consistency of sauce. Serve on top of warm pasta.
Note: If making sauce ahead of time you can heat the sauce in a pan on low. Any higher will burn the nut butter. You may need more water as you do this.
