Nuts have a wondrous ability to mimic traditional cow dairy. An unassuming, but perfectly natural mimic due to its neutral flavor and thickening properties, nuts also provide healthy fats and fiber. Adding umami and funk with onions, garlic and nutritional yeast, makes this a luxurious cream sauce that is a perfect substitute for traditional cow dairy uses. Don’t confine your use of this sauce to noodles. Think of this as your new “base cream sauce” for any dish that is asking for cream or milk in a savory preparation. Make a vegetable or potato gratin with this or use it as a base for a creamy soup such as cream of broccoli. Use this as a replacement for bechamel sauce, a filling for lasagna, a base for “vegan queso” and creamy green chili enchiladas! This sauce loves white wine or sherry making a fabulous base for an old favorite, turkey tetrazzini.
