Today Show: Ryan Scott Summer Squash Tagliatelle with Creamy Raw Alfredo Pasta Recipe Ingredients
The sauce for this dish gets made in the blender, and Ryan said you should add the liquid first anytime you’re making a sauce like this, or a pesto. As for substitutions, almonds would work instead of cashews. Kale or arugula could easily substitute for spinach. The ladies commented on how delicious and creamy the finished product turned out.
