Follow The Directions

01

Step

Soak cashews in 1 1/2 cups water in a bowl until softened, at least 20 minutes.

02

Step

Drain water; add almond milk. Blend mixture in a high-speed blender or food processor until completely smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water, or as needed, until sauce is slightly thinner than you want it for the final product, as it thickens when heated. Add garlic, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.

03

Step

Pour mixture into a saucepan. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until heated through and desired thickness is achieved, about 5-7 minutes. You can add additional water or almond milk if sauce becomes too thick. For an even smoother sauce, consider using an immersion blender directly in the saucepan.

For best results, use a high-speed blender to achieve the smoothest possible sauce.
Adjust the amount of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to your personal preference.
This sauce is best served immediately. If reheating, do so gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of almond milk or water to loosen it up.
Experiment with adding other spices and herbs, such as nutmeg, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley.
