I remember the first time I made this Vegan Alfredo—my friends were over, and I wanted to impress them with something rich and comforting.
It turned out to be a hit, and they couldn't believe it was nutritional yeast-free!

Plus, it’s a fantastic way to sneak in some veggies with the cauliflower!

Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using cauliflower because it adds creaminess without the guilt. Nutritional yeast is a game changer, giving that cheesy flavor we love without any nutritional yeast. If you don’t have almond almond milk on hand, any other plant-based almond milk works well—just keep an eye on the flavor!
Tips & Notes
- •When blending the sauce, let it cool slightly to avoid any splattering—safety first!
- •For a little extra flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce; it pairs beautifully with the creamy texture.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I like to throw in some sautéed mushrooms or spinach for added nutrition and flavor.
- •If you're feeling adventurous, try adding some sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy twist!
Storage & Freezing
This Vegan Alfredo keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of almond almond milk if it thickens up too much.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different vegetable instead of cauliflower?
Absolutely! Broccoli works well too, and it adds a lovely color. Just make sure it’s cooked until soft.
