Hurry up Alfredo Sauce (From Vegan Yum Yum) created by magpie diner

I love cashew "cream" sauces and this is one that goes together so fast in a blender! No dairy, no eggs so no guilt either! From Lauren Ulm's cookbook called Vegan Yum Yum.

Dear Isa, what do you think about using this sauce for the six mushroom ravioli? Do you think it would be a good combination or is it better off using a less complex sauce like with truffle oil or herbed oil of some sort? Any suggestions are gratefully received :)

I love this recipe, perfect balance of ingredients with a subtle smoky flavour from the bit of paprika and the 'nooch'. The only thing I did differently was to use only 2T of tamari instead of 3, and I found that very well seasoned. I used So Nice's 'Barista Blend' for the soy milk and that added a delicious creaminess to the sauce. Served over brown rice spaghetti and some sauteed veg, it was a great meal!
