Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using raw zucchini for its crunch and freshness, but you could also try cucumber for a different twist. If you don't have cashews, soaked sunflower seeds can work as a great substitute for the creamy base. Just ensure they’re well-blended for a smooth texture!
Tips & Notes
- •Always soak your cashews for at least 2 hours; it makes a world of difference in creaminess.
- •I keep my zucchini noodles in a bowl with a little bit of salt and cover them until I’m ready to serve – this helps keep them fresh.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add sun-dried tomatoes or olives for an extra punch of flavor.
- •If you’re in the mood for a little spice, throw in some red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Storage & Freezing
This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store the zucchini noodles and sauce separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just toss together again when you're ready to eat!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prepare the sauce ahead of time, but I recommend tossing it with the zucchini just before serving to keep the noodles crisp.
What if I don’t like nutritional yeast?
No worries! You can use tahini or a bit of miso paste for a different flavor profile; just adjust the quantity to taste.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by spiralizing your zucchini. If you don't have a spiralizer, a vegetable peeler or mandoline will work just fine to create thin ribbons.
- 2
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, lemon juice, almond almond milk, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- 3
Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times.
- 4
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you want it a bit tangier, add more lemon juice.
- 5
In a large bowl, toss the spiralized zucchini with the creamy sauce until every noodle is well-coated.
- 6
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil. Enjoy the beautiful colors and flavors!
