creamy cashew alfredo sauce with zoodles
recently i had the opportunity to make dinner for a few friends and decided a ‘pasta night’ would be fun. since it has still been fairly warm here dairy-free alfredo zoodles seemed perfect because there’s no need to use the stovetop and even my non-vegan buddies always enjoy this cashew alfredo sauce.
so i grabbed a bunch of seasonally appropriate zucchini, pulled out my spiralizer and got to work.
what you add to this dish is up to you and there are a variety of options. one of my favorite taste testers has eaten plenty of the cashew alfredo sauce and he loves adding grilled chicken to create a chicken alfredo pasta with fresh tomatoes and basil from his garden.
love the tomatoes and basil and i’m a fan of having marinated mushrooms on hand while adding either micro greens, pea shoots, or sunflower sprouts. and always spread over a heaping plate of greens like a simple kale or arugula salad. obviously.
what you’ll need:
zoodles or pasta or choice
micro greens, sunflower greens, pea shoots or sprouts of choice
optional: marinated mushrooms, croutons, kale salad, arugula salad
what to do:
place greens or salad mix on plate.
in a separate bowl, mix zoodles and cashew alfredo sauce well. layer over salad greens.
top with micro greens, shoots or sprouts, marinated mushrooms, etc.

This pasta looks so delicious! I recently went vegan and I’m always on the look out for new fund and yummy recepies. <3
this is one of my favorites and welcome to vegan life! make sure you’re getting enough calories each day. over the years that’s something i’ve seen turn lots of people around…and let me know if you need any support (:
I love this! I just made the traditional alfredo sauce but want to try this much healthier version!

awesome maria, i could eat this alfredo sauce on its own (:
Wow…cashew alfredo sauce sounds really yummy…need to try!
it’s one of my favorites, enjoy (:
This looks amazing! I have been trying to cut down on pasta, but it is my favorite lol. I need to try zoodles, I keep seeing them but have yet to make them
they’re so easy and delicious, i had a coaching client tell me just the other day he might never eat pasta again after finding zoodles!
Ohh I’ve been meaning to try this and now I finally have a recipe. Thanks! It looks awesome.
This looks so delish! I’ve never had zucchini noodles but they look amazing. I’m going to try it this weekend, thanks so much for sharing!
That looks fantastic. I love those flavors individually but never combined them. I will now!
Yum!!! Thank you for showing us this delish masterpiece. Will definitely try this recipe out soon.

Looks insanely delicious!! Can’t go wrong with cashews – well, unless you’re allergic? LOL
Oh my gosh!! I’m so hungry looking at this! Definitely trying this tonight!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I’m always a little bit sceptical of spiral shaped vegetables but this recipe does look tasty! I think I’ll have to give the whole veg noodles thing a try because I keep seeing some super tasty-looking inspo! xx

depending on which spiralizer you purchase there are different shapes you’re able to make…the paderno i own has three different options-and i’m not an affiliate to paderno just a fan (:
This looks DELICIOUS. And is soooo healthy, I reckon. Definitely trying it sometime this week for dinner. Love it, thank you.
Looks so tasty! I adore zoodles or sweet potato noodles but haven’t had a chance to rock cashew alfredo sauce- thanks!
YUM! Alfredo sauce is my absolute favorite, but I’ve been meaning to try out a healthier recipe for it. This looks perfect! So glad to have found this!
great, enjoy!
I haven’t tried zoodles yet, but recipes like this intrigue me, and make me want to. 🙂
I think it’s time to break out my spiralizer! I haven’t used it in awhile, and this sounds delicious!
Oh this looks delish! I’m always looking for new zoodle recipes!!
I still have yet to try a cashew sauce alfredo but this one looks super tasty! I like that your noodles are still nice and thick too.
thanks, my spiralizer has a few different options and i like using the thicker one myself (:
thanks–my serializer has a few different settings and i love using the thicker one (:
