This cashew cheese sauce is addictive, versatile and, healthy too. Depending what you pair it with.

It works as a nacho dip, I also use it in my chunky vegetable lasagna recipe and it’s great with pasta & roasted cauliflower.  

 

Store any leftover sauce in a glass jar in the fridge and it will keep for about a week.

 

Method 

Steam the carrots until tender.  Drain and rinse the cashews. Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until smooth.
