12 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

# Steps to Follow:
01 - Spiralize the zucchini and gently pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly tender. Season with sea salt, then remove from heat and set aside.
03 - In a high-speed blender, combine soaked and drained cashews, plant-based milk, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
04 - Pour the sauce into a saucepan and warm over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through. Add additional plant-based milk if the sauce is too thick.
05 - Toss the warm zucchini noodles with the creamy Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
06 - Divide into serving portions and garnish with fresh parsley, toasted pine nuts, and additional black pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
