• Almond Milk: I prefer almond milk, which Silk has a  shelf-stable version that lasts up to a year in the pantry! It’s great to add to quick sauces (like this alfredo!), smoothies, oat meal, and soups.
• Fettuccine noodles: these gluten free fettuccine noodles are perfect for this creamy vegan fettuccine alfredo!  Or if you want to use a different shape of pasta, you can browse through these Gluten Free Pasta Choices for some fun varieties!
• Garlic: I use fresh garlic when I have it, and this great jarred organic garlic when I don’t have fresh. It’s actually super convenient to have pre-chopped garlic on hand for quick and easy meal prep.
• Olive Oil: I like to use this delicious olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s really inexpensive online here, so I keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry.  For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value, I would highly recommend!
• Ground Mustard: for a great burst of savory flavor in the sauce,  a little bit of ground mustard goes a long way!  I keep this mustard powder in my pantry at all times!
• Nutritional Yeast: a heap of this gets blended in the sauce, gives a great nutty and cheesy flavor to the alfredo. I am obsessed with Anthony’s Nutritional Yeast, its the best.
• Fresh Parsley: not only to garnish, but to give this alfredo a burst of fresh herbs. I love adding parsley to almost any dish, and just the hint of fresh parsley here makes this dish sing.

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!
