Most alfredo sauces are a disaster nutritionally because they are full of oils, cream, cheeses and other high fat/calorie ingredients. This recipe brings in the nutrition and flavor of veggies, which also lowers the calories. You’ll be surprised to find that it is still just as creamy as regular alfredo! The addition of hemp seeds increases plant-protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
CHEF’S NOTE: If you are not using a hi-speed blender, you should soak the cashews and hemp seeds in water for an hour or so, then drain in a fine-mesh strainer, before blending.
