Silky and smooth, this Pasta With Creamy Vegan Alfredo Sauce makes a real comforting meal without the need for dairy.

Pasta With Creamy Vegan Alfredo Sauce by The Flexitarian

Silky and smooth, this Pasta With Creamy Vegan Alfredo Sauce makes a real comforting meal without the need for dairy. Quick and speedy, this dish is made from scratch in under 30 mins.

I used whole wheat fusilli here, but you can swap for fettuccine, spaghetti or any other shape pasta you prefer.

Cooked cauliflower has a wonderful velvety texture when blended. I have been using it in smoothies, soups and sauces instead of cream, milk or nuts. It is low in fat and high in fibre, so it is perfect whenever you prefer something light and healthy.

To make this pasta with creamy vegan alfredo sauce extra cheesy I have added nutritional YeastVegan Alfredo Sauce which is high in protein and fibre as well as Vitamin B12. It adds a cheesy and nutty taste to food and is a real staple for any plant-based kitchen.

Like my Mediterranean orzo salad, this pasta with creamy vegan alfredo sauce is a crowd-pleaser. I add plenty of pepper and nutritional yeast on top. Vegan parmesan is also an option here if you prefer.

For an autumnal twist on this vegan alfredo sauce try my butternut squash pasta sauce. It is super versatile. You can toss it with your favourite pasta, layer it into a lasagne, or use it as a pizza topping.
