This is HANDS DOWN the BEST Vegan Alfredo Sauce Recipe. Ready in 30 minutes or less and there’s no chopping! It’s creamy, cheesy and rich thanks to cashews and vegan cream cheese. You will not taste a better Vegan Pasta Sauce!
Me and Fettuccine Alfredo go way back. I made Alfredo Sauce on a daily basis at a restaurant I worked at when I was a youngin. I was pregnant at the time and couldn’t get enough of the stuff. Was it good for me – NO! Really yummy – YES! Did I feel great after – NO! Was I a petite pregnant woman?- Hell no! Haha! Oh lord?- I was young and happy. All good memories, right Rita❤️
So my point is, I’d like to say I know a thing or two about Alfredo Sauce and thank goodness I have a healthy vegan version now, dairy free of course!
This Fettuccine Alfredo is the real deal. It’s better than any dairy version and so much healthier. You’ll actually feel good after eating it. I make my sauce with white wine, cashews, cream cheese, miso, plant milk, bouillon, and dried herbs and spices. So if you want to impress your family and friends, throw together this Vegan Alfredo Sauce with some fettuccine or whatever pasta floats your boat? Serve it with some garlic bread and a light green salad and you’ll have an amazing meal, with no fuss.
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE:
Start soaking the cashews in boiling water for 15 minutes. Then drain the cashews and add them to your Nutra Bullet or Blender with the rest of the sauce ingredients, except the dried basil. Blend it until smooth. Now add the sauce and basil to a heavy bottomed pan or skillet. Bring it to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 1 minute then remove the sauce from the heat. Serve over your favourite pasta and enjoy! For full recipe check out the Recipe Card below.

Sounds delicious Georgia, thank you for sharing!
based on your photos, this is the best looking vegan alfredo i’ve found. However, I really don’t like to use/drink alcohol. Is there anything I can substitute in place of the white wine?
Thank you!!!
Hi Naomi, I haven’t made my alfredo without wine, it really adds a lot of flavour to this dish and it does burn off. Having said that you could add more plant milk and a tsp or two of white wine vinegar and see if that works for you? Have a great day!
Could I use almond milk for this recipe?
Hi Jenn, I haven’t made this recipe with almond milk but I’m sure it would work just fine?
This is a great winter dish. Can’t wait to try it out, I used to eat Alfredo before I became plant based. I’m excited, thank you 🙂
