Creamy carrot noodle alfredo- made with vegan cashew cheese sauce. Whole30, paleo, and dairy free. An easy family meal that makes for easy meal prep- can be made ahead and frozen!
Puree all ingredients for the sauce together in food processor or high powered blender for 3-5 minutes until completely smooth.
Place carrot noodles on a baking tray and cook in a convection toaster (or oven) on 450F for about 10-15 minutes until soft. Then set aside. *You can also cook noodles in a skillet on the stovetop, but I have found convection baking carrot noodles turns out perfect results every time and eliminates excess water. I get carrot noodles from Trader Joe’s. You can also use sweet potato noodles or any other vegetable noodle.
Once noodles are cooked, serve with alfredo sauce, top with fresh chopped basil (optional), and serve! Leftovers can be stored in the freezer and reheated later- if you are meal prepping, blend sauce and freeze separate, do not cook noodles until you are prepared to eat them.
Recipe Notes
If you don’t have or want carrot noodles, you can sub for any other noodle or vegetable noodles- zucchini, sweet potato, or spaghetti squash.
