Vegan Cauliflower Alfredo with Spiralized Veggie “Noodles”

This recipe is 90% raw, cool and refreshing. The veggie noodles, made out of zucchini and squash, are made with a Spiralizer. They're not too expensive (find them on Amazon for $10-$30) and they are a great way to lighten up your pasta dishes this Summer. If you don't have one, just use a vegetable peeler, maybe even one with a julienne feature, to slice them very thinly.
A note on the sauce: especially if you don't have a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix, make sure to soak the cashews for a couple hours before you start cooking.

 2 zucchinis, curled or spiralized
 2 yellow squash, curled or spiralized
 1 kohlrabi, julienned
 1 head cauliflower, chopped (or 1 thawed package of froze cauliflower)
 1 cup cashews
 1 cup water
 2 tbsp white miso
 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
 2 tsp Dijon mustard
 1 tsp tahini
 Black pepper
 Fresh basil and/or thyme (optional, but highly advised!)
 Crushed red pepper (optional)

Make your Noodles
1

Using your tool of preference, shred your veggies into ribbons.

4

Chill the sauce in the freezer for 30 minutes, in the fridge for a couple hours or serve hot. It's up to you!
