The Quest For The Best Alfredo Sauce is Over

12 Mar

So… you may or may not know this but I have been on a mission for the past 3 years. That mission was to find the best vegan alfredo sauce recipe.  Before I went vegan I had a serious addiction to fettucini alfredo, usually with broccoli.. sometimes spinach.  I still crave it on a regular basis but nothing I have tried (I’ve tried dozens of recipes) has quelled my desire for this cheesy creamy sauce. UNTIL NOW!  A few days ago my elusive ingenuity struck and I decided to Google “Best Ever Vegan Alfredo” and lo and behold… there it was: Vegan Dad’s Best Ever Vegan Alfredo.  It has simple ingredients, and surprisingly enough, nothing that really evokes a cheesy flavor (nutritional yeast), but oh my.. is it perfect – and omnivore approved. I will leave you in suspense no longer!

Vegan Dad’s Best Ever Vegan Alfredo

INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup margarine
- 2 cups plain soymilk
- 1 pkg extra firm silken tofu (Mori-Nu)
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 2 tbsp onion powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 2-3 tbsp arrowroot powder
METHOD
1. Blend all ingredients except arrowroot powder in a food processor until creamy and smooth. Heat in a saucepan over med-lo heat until just about bubbling.
2. Remove some of the sauce and mix with 2 tbsp of the arrowroot, then add back to the saucepan. Heat, but don’t boil. If sauce is too thin, add the remaining tbsp (or more). Whisk smooth.
3. Serve over pasta with peas and seitan slices.

    Is there any idea of how many people this serves? Could this one recipe serve 4 people? 6 people?

    I have made this a few times and have found that the recipe is the perfect amount for one standard box of pasta. So i would just adjust the recipe for however many boxes of pasta you use to feed your family.
  • Oh My Holy Goodness! Thank you and Thank Vegan Dad for this recipe. Just got done making and consuming way too much of it. Threw in some broccoli and asparagus with it, so effin yummy :o) The only problem is now I have to eat the leftovers!
  • You know... from childhood, I have never liked alfredo sauce specifically because it tasted over-the-top creamy... but now I have hope for the future of this delicacy in the way you've presented it. Thank you for this recipe! I will be sure to try it! I hope you don't mind that I have posted a link to your blog on the right-hand side of mine. Check it out if you fancy!

    Cheers,
