Creamy Vegan Alfredo with 4 Ingredients (Dairy-Free Vegan Cream Recipe)

[@Mr.Autodelete]

instead of water use the starchy salty pasta water and watch them flavor points stack up homie

[@CheapLazyVegan]

jeesus christ you are a genius

[@linaortmann5124]

Cheap Lazy Vegan the starchy water is also a thickener, so be mindful about that! Your sauce might end up thicker. :)

[@JuliaZaretskaya]

I was gonna make the same suggestion. Learned that trick from Blue Apron and it’s totally changed my life for sauces.

[@neko_nixxy]

This looks so good!!! For those who want a substitution for the cashews...white beans are great! They're creamy, CHEAP, and won't send those with nut allergies into anaphylactic shock 😊

[@MultiCappie]

Just what I wanted to know, thanks!

[@MultiCappie]

.... also waaaaaaaayyyy cheaper for those cheap lazy vegans among us... hahaha.

[@alliphil1]

Boiled cauliflower also works. I buy frozen cauliflower at Walmart for about $1 per bag. Even creamier if you add some chunks of peeled potatoes boiled in the same pot along with the cauliflower. High speed blender does the trick after it’s boiled. Super creamy sauce.

[@Diamond-zp5wp]

Courtney Christine I will try white beans cause I hate the taste of cashews

[@Sweets0727]

Omg me too ✨.. I used unsweetened almond milk and coconut milk.

[@Blu3IcedTea]

As someone who is dairy-free this is amazing. I think I'll add roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes♡-♡

[@CheapLazyVegan]

that sounds incredible!!

[@kaylawaters2691]

Sounds good!

[@starrpeabody9071]

The sucky part is I'm also allergic to Cashews. Looks like a delicious dish though

[@mandycurtis2533]

If you don’t already, follow happyhealthyvegan. They don’t cook with any garlic & she has a cookbook too.

[@David-un4cs]

@@starrpeabody9071 You could make a roux with equal parts oil, or vegan butter, and flour. Add whichever plant milk and seasonings you prefer and the sauce will thicken as you cook it. That's basically the typical ways it's made with vegan ingredients subbed in. Works just as well. You could also use vegan cream cheese as the base for a sauce. There's a ton of recipes online!

Yes... this! I worked 18y in the service industry before becoming a social worker... Nutmeg, fresh and just a little is the secret ingredient in the best Alfredo sauces I've ever had.

[@Kikimora857]

I feel like roasted broccoli would go very well with this

[@mxtzdr]

yesss, i will do it with that thanks for the idea

[@marilynmontano1882]

This is hands down the BEST vegan creamy pasta sauce! I sauté the minced garlic prior to adding it to the blender and it adds so much more flavor (you can also roast a bulb of garlic in the oven) I eat this all the time it’s soo good 😫

[@platypus46]

I just tried this! It was so good! I'm not vegan but I love to make vegan recipes and this was surprisingly creamy and pretty cheesy-tasting, pretty close to the real thing! I saw someone in the comments say they used 1 cup of pasta water instead of plain water so I did that + used a little more garlic!

[@maureenbullis1805]

Hey Rose, I do this same thing with a cooked potato, much cheaper than cashews.

[@JessicaHolmes]

I'm gonna try the potato/cashew swap! Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@el-bov8034]

@@JessicaHolmes >>"much cheaper than cashews."

[@abbielindell]

I do mine with tofu!! Of course a little more expensive than potato but my husband and I are obsessed. Add some spinach and mushrooms and a beyond sausage or two if we have them on hand 10/10

[@el-bov8034]

Tofu is a great idea! Nice hit of protein. It also is a great addition to smoothies👍

[@КлавдияДьяченко-ч6в]

I hate taste of soaked cashews. So that swap help a lot.

[@dcalialva]

I'm from the states but am currently living in a small city in Ecuador as an English teacher. Eating vegan is very easy where I live however access to things like beyond meat patties, vegan desserts and other things is really hard to come by. I love pasta and a creamy vegan sauce is something I can never find here. I've made some from scratch using almond milk but it's not the same. However, I can find all these ingredients in bigger cities and I can't wait to try this out soon. Thank you so so much Rose!

[@marybeck514]

Adding a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce makes this smoky, spicy and delicious too!

[@Baconikata97]

This is the best vegan pasta I’ve ever had!🤩 I put salt&pepper and cherry tomatoes in the souce, and fresh basil on top. It was amazing!

[@joonietingz4171]

Sooo this right here is the bomb- I just finished making it not too long ago. I’m just waiting for the fam to be settled so we can dig in but like I’m in love with this sauce 😭💕. I did change it up a bit yk. For the sauce itself It’s the same as her’s with the addition of the pasta water (for that flavor and extra thickness) and coconut milk because I was getting too much cashew flavor. I didn’t have any nutritional yeast on hand so that could have been also why. Oh- I also added cauliflower for an extra boost of creaminess and vegetables! As to mixing both pasta and sauce I made a sofrito first. Meaning i started with a base of green onions, mushrooms, and ginger with olive oil and waited for each to become tender before adding in the next. I sprinkled some Italian seasoning I had and then included the sauce. Giving it a while to soak up the extra flavor before mixing it with the pasta. At the end I ended up with dinner for like 4 nights and a favorite recipe 🧚‍♀️✨

[@briadw]

Let me just say I’m addicted lol I’ve had this almost everyday this week and I tweek the recipe each time with different veggies and I’ve added vegan sour cream. It’s soo good! My only tip is to add less nutritional yeast if you don’t favor the taste, 2T. instead of 4. Thank you!!

[@janers78]

[@caroldial4987]

What pasta do you use that doesn’t have eggs in it? You can also save time on the cashews if you just put them in a Ziploc bag lay them on your counter and break them up with the side of a hammer. Hold the hammer on its flat side and just pound on the nuts that are in the bag and they will break up into small pieces and then you can put them in your blender and blend them up. Well that is what I do anyway. I have a vita mix, but a regular blender might be OK if you just break them up into small pieces like I do. Then you don’t have to boil anything and it only takes a couple minutes

[@edwinjlr1345]

If you want to boost it, mince your garlic, stir them around a hot pan with olive oil, then dunk all that garlicky goodness onto the blender with the cashews. Once you do that, THEN you're ready to pour it over your pasta.

[@audiovisualproof5407]

[2-20-2021; 1:13am] Just finished a plate of fettuccine pasta with the Creamy Vegan Alfredo from this recipe. What I noticed: 1. The ingredients used creates a strong aroma, yet the sauce tasted bland prior to adding a touch of salt. 2. Strangely, adding a touch of salt made the other seasonings come alive and more tasteful. 3. Using water when blending the ingredients with the blender seemed okay but when pouring the sauce over the pasta and heating the sauce up, the consistency became a bit thick and I had to keep adding water, even on low simmer. *(For the next batch, I'm going to experiment and add 1 cup of Almond Milk, instead of water, when blending with the blender. Instead of heating the sauce with the pasta, I'm going to heat the sauce separately, on low simmer, and hopefully the sauce won't over thicken using the Almond Milk. I'm also going to add diced onions, tomatoes and green bell peppers to the pasta to spice up the flavor. Wish me luck because I'm very new to following recipes and I'm really out of my comfort zone when it comes to cooking and cooking dishes I've never cooked before. ✌️😉👍)*

[@suicune2001]

Good luck! A couple people in the comments suggested using white beans or cauliflower. One person also suggested using the salted pasta water to help thicken up the sauce but clearly you don't want a thicker sauce. Maybe a combination of using cauliflower and pasta water would be better? I've never tried this recipe myself but since white beans and cauliflower are so much cheaper than cashews, I might go to the store today and give it a try.

[@audiovisualproof5407]

@@suicune2001 Thanks. Although I did come up with a personal recipe about 4 to 5 days after posting my original comment and it is very tasty! I did not use any of the ingredients in the video about except the Cashews. The rest of the ingredients are what I felt would work AND THEY DID! 😲😄 My Vegan Alfredo Pasta Sauce only needs 6 ingredients and no cauliflower, white beans or pasta water is needed to thicken the sauce. And get this, you can refrigerate my Vegan Alfredo Sauce overnight and it becomes a thicker, richer, creamier snack dip! After refrigerating you use it as a tasty dip for potato chips, use it as a sandwich spread, a salad topping and whatever comes to mind! 5 people have taste tested my Vegan Alfredo Sauce and all loved it and even took some with them to share with people they know! I typed the recipe instructions up and I'm going to have it copyrighted before any attempts to market my Vegan Alfredo Sauce! I did complete a video tutorial on how to make my Vegan Pasta Sauce but going to wait and see if there may be an interest after some local self promoting.

Also oranges are a no no since they have this underskin layer after u peel them...like transparent scales ...so it also blocks the blender..!!! So next time ..its Vitamix for me! 😄
