  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cashew Cream

    Soak 1 cup of raw cashews in hot water for at least 30 minutes, or in cold water for 4 hours or overnight.

    Drain and rinse the cashews.

  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce

    In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or olive oil.

    Add the cashew cream and bring to a simmer.

    Optional: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes.

    Season with freshly ground black pepper.

  4. Combine Pasta, Sauce, and Spinach

    Add the cooked fettuccine and spinach to the skillet.

    Toss to coat the pasta and spinach in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach the desired consistency.
