    I love pasta Alfredo so much, it's one of my favorite pasta recipes and this version is even better than the traditional one. You're going to love it because is simple, super creamy, is made with less than 10 ingredients and ready in just 25 minutes!

    Before I went vegan, I realized I didn't feel well after eating dairy products, so I was looking for an easy and delicious alternative to pasta Alfredo and after trying so many recipes I made it, I found the best vegan pasta Alfredo recipe.

    It's healthier and also dairy and gluten-free, but feel free to use regular pasta if you want. We used gluten-free spaghetti, made with corn and rice flour, but I prefer brown rice or buckwheat pasta now because they're less refined and tastes much better.

    Look at the photos, the sauce is so creamy! We used homemade almond milk instead of cream and nutritional yeast instead of cheese. Believe me, you'll barely notice any difference.

    I tried nutritional yeast two years ago and I didn't like it because of its strong taste, but now it's one of my favorite foods in the whole word. I used to be addicted to cheese and I'm nooch-aholic now.

    Even if you don't like cauliflower, you need to try this pasta because you're going to love it, I promise! Besides, it's the perfect plant-based recipe for kids. Hope you enjoy it!

    Ingredients 

    US Customary - Metric
    • 4 ounces uncooked spaghetti
    • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 clove of garlic, minced
    • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk
    • 1 cup raw cauliflower, chopped
    • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
    • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Cook the pasta al dente according to package directions.
    • Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the garlic over medium-high heat for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown.
    • Add the almond milk and bring it to a boil.
    • Low the heat to medium-high, add the cauliflower, salt and pepper and cook for about 7 minutes or until the cauliflower is soft. Add more milk if needed.
    • Transfer to a blender and add the nutritional yeast and lemon juice. Blend until smooth.
    • Drain the pasta and pour it into the pan with the sauce. Stir and serve (we added some dried oregano on top).
    • Keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

    Notes

    • Use regular pasta if you want.
    • You can make this recipe oil-free sautéing the garlic in some water or oil-free broth or even using garlic powder instead. To make the sauce creamier, add 1 tablespoon of tahini or any other nut butter, although it's not necessary.
    • Any unsweetened plant milk is okay.

      Using cauliflower as the base is so clever. It makes a really creamy, smooth sauce. This is really delicious and versatile as I'm also using this as a basis for mac & cheese sauce.

      Made this for my grandson. He can't have dairy. He was so excited! Told me it was nice to have something that tasted so good. We aren't vegan so had with chicken was outstanding.
