Equipment

  • High Powered Blender Vitamix or Blendtec preferred
  • large pot
  • silicone spatula

Ingredients

Step 1

  • 3 med garlic minced or pressed
  • 1/4 cup unrefined coconut oil unrefined, extra virgin, cold pressed

Step 2

  • 10 oz purified water; cold

Step 3

  • 1/2 lb cashews; raw (= 4 3.5oz cashew cream bars)
  • 1 cup purified water; cold
  • 2 Tbs lemon juice
  • 2 Tbs Nutritional Yeast
  • 1 Tbs Himalayan sea salt
  • 1 tsp Himalayan sea salt (optional)
  • 1.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Step 4

  • 6 oz purified water; cold
  • 1 Tbs tapioca starch

Instructions

  • Sauté the garlic and coconut oil in a large pot on medium heat for 2 minutes and stir.  
  • Add the water from STEP 2 to the pot and again give a stir.
  • Add all STEP 3 ingredients to a high powered blender (Vitamix or Blendtec recommended), blend until smooth and then add to the pot.  Do not clean the blender yet, we’ll use again for step 4.
  • Continue to cook the sauce on medium heat for 7 minutes, stirring often with a silicone spatula so it doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  • Add STEP 4 ingredients to the blender and blend for 20 seconds, cleaning the pitcher.  Add to the pot and stir for another minute.  
  • Toss the sauce with your favorite pasta and ENJOY!
