Ingredients

  • 24 oz carrot noodles I get carrot noodles from Trader Joe's. You can also use sweet potato noodles.
  • fresh basil to taste

Sauce

  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 cup full fat coconut milk from the can- I use Chaokoh brand
  • 10 tablespoons water or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1-2 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Puree all ingredients for the sauce together in food processor or high powered blender for 3-5 minutes until completely smooth.
  • Place carrot noodles on a baking tray and cook in a convection toaster (or oven) on 450F for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Then set aside. *You can also cook noodles in a skillet on the stovetop, but I have found convection baking carrot noodles turns out perfect results every time and eliminates excess water. I get carrot noodles from Trader Joe's. You can also use sweet potato noodles or any other vegetable noodle.
  • Once noodles are cooked, serve with alfredo sauce, top with fresh chopped basil (optional), and serve! Leftovers can be stored in the freezer and reheated later- if you are meal prepping, blend sauce and freeze separate, do not cook noodles until you are prepared to eat them.

Notes

If you don't have or want carrot noodles, you can sub for any other noodle or vegetable noodles- zucchini, sweet potato, or spaghetti squash.
