Classic Alfredo is made with full-fat dairy and usually heavy cream, but this version swaps animal products for a nut base of cashews, which is an easy way to make any dairy dish over and reduce saturated fat in the recipe since it is tied to inflammation. This recipe also calls for seitan, a plant-based protein made from dehydrated gluten with a texture similar to beef but is of course much healthier. Have yourself a delicious, low-carb pasta night!
