White Bean Cashew Alfredo Sauce

Yields1 Serving

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.

 1 can white beans, drained and rinsed (or 1 1/2 cups cooked beans)
  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
1

Place all the ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth. Warm sauce in a small pot for several minutes before serving. Store in a covered container for several days or freeze.
