You probably think you have to give up decadent and creamy sauces when you go vegan. Nope, not true! There are many plant-based foods that can transform any sauce into something rich, creamy and decadent. One of those amazing foods being cashews.
Here's how to make a magical vegan mushroom sauce, which I adapted from The Endless Meal. You can use this vegan sauce for anything! I used it to make a delicious green bean casserole, but I am going to add it to pasta next.
To make this no-cream, creamy mushroom sauce recipe you will need the following ingredients: cashews, olive oil, mushrooms, fresh garlic, water, sea salt and black pepper. Check out the health benefits of mushrooms and the health benefits of cashews.
Serve this simple mushroom sauce over anything or use it in recipes. The sauce would be delicious over grilled tofu.
