White Bean Cashew Alfredo Sauce

Name: White Bean Cashew Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients: 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked beans); ⅓ cup nutritional yeast; ½ cup raw cashews; 3 cloves garlic, peeled; 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil; 1 tsp salt; 2 tsp fresh lemon juice; ½ cup water

Aside from the taste, Alfredo sauce doesn't have too many other redeeming qualities. Made with heavy cream, parmesan, and lots of butter, it's not a sauce that's friendly to your health or to the animals.

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
