Do you ever crave a creamy, garlicky alfredo on a nice warm night? Here's a recipe I came up with that is gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan so you can get the most nutrition-dense food on your plate.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup steamed cauliflower
- 1/4 cup cashews 
- 2 tbs nutritional yeast
- 1/2 clove garlic
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp basil (dried or fresh)
- salt (to taste)
- pepper (to taste)
- water (add more for a lighter sauce)

- pasta of your choice (my fav is chickpea!!)
- water to boil pasta

Steps:

1. Boil pasta
2. Blend cauliflower, cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic, garlic powder, basil, salt, and pepper.
3. Add water until you have reached your desired consistency.
4. Pour sauce into a saucepan and cook on medium-low heat.
5. Add pasta and serve fresh!!
