Better than Alfredo


The variations of veggies you can add to an alfredo sauce are virtually endless. My favorites are artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, onions... just to name a few. This is pasta sauce heaven! 

1/2 c Earth Balance
2 c plain soy milk of thin cashew cream
1 12oz package Silken Tofu
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (fine ground works best)
2 tbsp corn starch
pinch nutmeg


I start by blending all of the ingredients and then heating them in a sauce pan continually stirring. If the mixture is slightly too thick consider adding up to 1/4 cup vegetable broth or soy milk. 


(This sauce image was not taken by me so I had to borrow from another creative veggie. Mine was scarfed up too quickly to grab a good photo. I promise I'll snap a pic the next time I whip up a batch.)
