What’s In This Alfredo with Oat Milk Recipe?
- Pasta: I used a long linguine pasta, but you can use fettuccine, spaghetti, angel hair, bucatini,or any other long pasta shape!
- Olive Oil: I like to use ZOE brand because it has a great flavor, and is a good value for the quality olive oil you get.
- Garlic: you can use fresh garlic if you have it, or heriloom jarred garlic if you are making this pantry-staple friendly.
- Flour or Corn Starch: use a gluten free flour or corn starch to form a roux. The roux will thicken the sauce making this an irresistable creamy and luscious pasta dish!
- Oat Milk: I used my easy homemade Unsweetened Oat Milk recipe, but you can use store-bought oat milk… just make sure to use unsweetened/unflavored! If making your own, use certified GF oats.
- Garlic Salt: for a little extra flavor and spice in this pasta.
- Fresh Ground Pepper: I use tellicherry pepper corns because they have a nice flavor with a hint of spice, and are a great value for the quality of fresh pepper corns.
- Parsley: to give the alfredo pasta sauce a bright fresh finish.

Really good but you’ll need to add more flour and turn up the heat to thicken the sauce. I just about to give up when I saw a comment with her adjustments.

I attempted this recipe, and I was a little discouraged at first. With just a single tablespoon of flour, I couldn’t get it to thicken to save my life. I had been cooking for 30-40 minutes, and it was still really runny. I added some more flour, and continued to cook for about 20 more minutes. Ultimately, it took about 1 and a half tablespoons of flour, a higher heat, and 50-ish minutes for it to finally get to where I needed it. I will say it was very yummy once I finally got everything in check. I’ll use this recipe again, but I’ll be sure to just add a little more flour, heat, and cooking time.
