Raw Food Diet – Free recipes and tips by The Rawtarian

I miss cheese, I really do. But I tell ya, this raw alfredo sauce recipe has a cheesy, creamy texture that is oh, so alfredoey.

I can honestly say that I like this alfredo sauce more than SAD (standard American diet) alfredo sauce. HONEST!

If you’ve tried my raw mayonnaise recipe the taste is quite similar, although this alfredo sauce is quite garlicky, whereas the raw mayo does not contain any garlic. Enjoy this absolutely delicious alfredo sauce recipe.

This recipe is quite large, and it actually keeps in the fridge really nicely.

This recipe works best with zucchini “noodles” (see below for more info).

Raw alfredo sauce recipe
Source unknown, found on an old forum post that is now defunct

• 2 cups unsoaked cashews (or macadamia nuts)
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon thyme spice
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Throw it all in the blender and blend ’til it gets alfredoey! It’ll get really nice and creamy, so keep blending… And you’re done!

Serve over “noodles!”

Raw Noodles

Of course, you know that raw “noodles” are simply spiralized zucchini or squash.

If you don’t have a fancy spiralizer, just do what I do: peel the vegetable and discard the peelings. Once all of the tough peel has been removed, just use your vegetable peeler to make “noodles” out of the remainder of the vegetable. I usually discard the really seedy core though. Zucchini makes the best noodles.

In the picture above, I used mostly zucchini noodles, but I added butternut squash noodles for the orange color. Beets also work well as an additional noodle. But again, for your first time I’d recommend zucchini. They have the best texture and their test is quite bland and it takes on the sauce’s flavour very nicely. But for the love of God don’t use cucumber for the noodles! Cucumbers are too wet; avoid cucumber noodles.

Toppings

Sometimes I top my alfredo sauce and noodles with vegetables, as seen in the picture. Your taste-buds will let you know what topping you might like to try on your pasta.

My husband prefers broccoli and red pepper. I love parsley, mushrooms, tomatoes, and olives. To each his or her own!

But for your first time just try it simple: raw alfredo noodles and sauce.
