Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo
Ingredients
- 8 oz dry pasta
- 2 cups cauliflower
- 1 large red bell pepper
- ½ cup raw cashews
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup cooking liquid from boiling cauliflower and cashews
Instructions
- Bring two pots of water to a boil. In one pot add the cauliflower and cashews. In the other pot, add the pasta. Strain the pasta when it's done.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Steam the bell pepper in microwave or veggie steamer for a few minutes until soft then put under the broiler for 20 minutes until it's slightly charred (flipping halfway through).
- When the cauliflower and cashews are soft, add them into a high speed blender like a Vitamix with 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Add in the nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, and roasted pepper. Blend sauce on high until completely smooth.
- Toss pasta with sauce and enjoy!

Paulina says
I don’t have cauliflower, can I replace it with something else? Or skip it?
Danita says
Soooo good! I’m in the process of eating plant based and I’m so excited to have found this recipe. I will be eating it as a soup too.
Jenna says
Do you have any suggestions for replacing the cashews? I have a lethal tree nut allergy and am desperate for a good vegan alfredo without using nuts.
Danielle Keith says
sunflower seeds or skinless almonds!
Breayaunna Payton says
What about walnuts? If I boil them, do you think that they’d work?

You had this recipe listed with jarred roasted red peppers, but I can’t find it now. Did you delete it?
Charrisse says
I made the roasted red pepper alfredo tonight and it was delicious! I added 1/8 tsp. Cayenne and 1/8 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes for some heat.
Babs says
Could i use an immersion blender in place of regular blender?
Taylor From HealthyGirl Kitchen says
You could try, but it may not be strong enough for all of the peppers etc. I have not tested it with my immersion blender.
