Eat a serving of fettuccine Alfredo to significantly boost your calcium intake. One portion of this pasta dish provides 30 percent of the daily recommended intake of calcium. This primarily comes from the cheese, butter and cream common in Alfredo sauce.
There are 632 calories in a 1 cup (240.000g) serving size of Cashew Cream Sauce. The calorie breakdown is 71% fat, 22% carbs, and 13% protein.
From a nutrition standpoint it is a high-calorie and high-fat food, just like dairy cream. But most of the fat in cashew cream is the heart-healthier unsaturated type, and dairy cream is a significant source of saturated fat.
