The creamy, vegan, alfredo sauce we love

This pasta sauce is absolutely not alfredo.

But if you don’t do dairy, THIS recipe is the next best thing.

It’s creamy, it’s cheesy, it’s vegan alfredo sauce.

And let me be the first to say, it’s really, really good.

Another cauliflower recipe that's great in a Vitamix

This is the 8th cauliflower recipe we’ve made in the last eight weeks. So to say we’re overdone on cauliflower is an understatement.

But over fresh pasta, this sauce does NOT taste like blended, boiled cauliflower.

It tastes like alfredo!

It’s definitely a Vitamix-friendly recipe, but can be made in any blender.

This sauce has officially become part of our repertoire and hopefully it will for you, too.

Enjoy!

Love,
Lenny

P.S. The quick video demo really makes this sauce come alive.

Useful tips for Alfredo Sauce

This vegan alfredo is pretty darn easy to make. Here are a few tips.

While it's best served over REAL pasta, it's pretty darn good over spaghetti squash.

I used my Vitamix Pro 750, but really any blender should work fine.
