Cheesy Vegan Sauce

plant based recipes sauces & spreads Feb 16, 2011

This vegan cheese sauce is divine over whole grain pasta, thin crust pizza, veggie lasagna, nachos, quesadillas, stuffed peppers and much more!  I love it so much that I have provided you with two variations.  Try the one you please, or make both!

 

Cashew Variation

Ingredients:

1 cup raw organic cashews

2 cups filtered water

1 ½ teaspoon unrefined sea salt

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1 organic red pepper

1/8 cup raw onion, chopped (or onion powder)

1 raw garlic clove, coarsely shopped (or garlic powder)

 

Directions:

Blend on high until smooth.  In a saucepan, cook on medium-heat.  Bring to a boil and turn down heat to medium-low.  Stir constantly to avoid burning and clumping.  Continue stirring until sauce is thick or at desired consistency.  ENJOY!

 

Chickpea Variation

Ingredients:

1 cup cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

2 cups filtered water

¼ cup roasted red pepper

¼ cup raw sesame seeds

1 ½ teaspoon unrefined sea salt

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

1/8 cup raw onion, chopped (or onion powder)

1 raw garlic clove, coarsely shopped (or garlic powder)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

 

Directions:

Blend on high until smooth.  In a saucepan, cook on medium-heat.  Bring to a boil and turn down heat to medium-low.  Stir constantly to avoid burning and clumping.  Continue stirring until sauce is thick or at desired consistency. Enjoy!
