How Do I Make This Almond Milk Alfredo Sauce Recipe?

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.  Drain and return the noodles to the pot.  Set pot aside for later.
    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.  On a large sheet pan, add the zucchini, onion, and garlic.  Pour the olive oil over the vegetables, add the ground mustard powder, and toss to combine so all the veggies are coated.
  2. In a large saucepan or skillet, heat the butter over medium low heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned. Add in the flour, and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well combined. Pour in the vegetable stock, and stir again for 4 to 5 minutes over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken.
  3. Add the nutritional yeast and plant-based milk and stir for 2 minutes.  The sauce should be thick and creamy.  Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
  4. Pour the sauce over the cooked noodles, and stir well to combine.  Hear on low for a few minutes to warm up the noodles.  Add fresh chopped parsley for garnish, and enjoy!

    I absolutely loved the flavor of this sauce, but it turned out really green in color. Maybe I’ll try yellow squash next time. But very tasty!!

      Hello Julia – no, I would not recommend this to be canned. Canning requires specific preservatives (like amounts of salt) for safe long-term food storage. This sauce can be frozen, however, if you wish to keep it for up to a month in your freezer. You can thaw it, heat it, and toss with freshly made pasta.
