Of course, when cooking a vegan meal, using heavy cream is out. For these times, cashew cream is my go-to replacement.

What Is Cashew Cream Sauce?

The soft texture of the cashews puree into the creamiest of sauces to the point of where I don’t even miss the cream. The sauce is similar in texture to Alfredo and comes together by simply soaking raw cashews in a bit of water. Add the fresh herbs, and this sauce is up there as a favorite of mine. Best of all, this is a great year-round sauce to use with any pasta recipe. Make this recipe with roasted butternut squash in the fall or some pan-fried asparagus in the spring. Still delicious.
