*You can substitute cashew, coconut, or almond milk. The sauce just won’t be as rich and creamy. Start with a cup and add more until desired consistency is achieved. You could also add a tablespoon or two more of cream cheese for extra creaminess!

If you tolerate dairy, some quality heavy cream could be used here as well!

**Many people have found that too much nutritional yeast can upset their stomach. So, it’s totally optional here. I tend to use it more often in regular alfredo sauces. Taste the sauce before you add it and see if you even need it! Personally, the cajun spices in this recipe add plenty of flavor for me.
