A rich and creamy Alfredo sauce made with store cupboard ingredients? That's right! This vegan recipe is great for when you need something quick, easy and comforting without a supermarket trip.

This has store-cupboard pasta recipe been my go-to when I'm stuck at home. For quick, easy and seriously comforting goodness.
I love this recipe because it relies on just shelf-stable ingredients, if you haven't had a chance to go to the shop to buy fresh. Also, it happens to be extremely rich and delicious.
This sauce is based off my cashew cheese sauce, which I use a lot in cooking because it is so versatile.
I know cashews aren't the most frugal ingredient but a small amount goes a really long way here.

This recipe is also delicious served with cooked mushrooms, spinach or whatever other vegetables and toppings you might have to hand.
I often just have it plain, though! Cheesy pasta is all you need, sometimes.
And of course, you can use this with any kind of pasta such as fusilli, bows, penne, spaghetti etc. or gluten-free alternatives.
