One Pot Vegan Alfredo Pasta For the Win!
This vegan alfredo noodles recipe is the perfect one-pot lunch or dinner! I love a good One Pot Meal, especially during these summer months when I don’t want a lot of burners going at once. Cooking everything in one pot is one of my favorite ways to get a meal on the table fast! And one pot makes cleaning up a breeze.
The stove does all the work for you, so you can focus on other kitchen prep while the food cooks. One Pot meals are awesome for breakfast, lunch, or dinner – check out my link here to see other one pot meals that are ready in no time!
What’s In Vegan One Pot Pasta Recipe?
I cook with fresh produce from my garden and from Misfits Market– they sell fantastic fruit, vegetables, & pantry staples at a discounted price. We get Misfit boxes every other week and love picking out favorite produce for delivery. Get $10 off your first box here!
- Mushrooms, Garlic, and Parsley
- Spaghetti – I used this delicious spaghetti for my pasta, which is one of my favorite long-noodle shapes. This is a normal wheat spaghetti (the texture is absolutely perfect!) but if you are looking for a gluten free version, I like this one instead.
- Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity 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!
- Milk – you can use any variety you like! The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be. I used unsweetened Almond Milk for my version of this recipe.
- No Salt Vegetable Stock or Bouillon: I love this no salt vegetable base for my recipes because it has a great flavor and is lower in sodium. I only develop my recipes with low sodium ingredients so the ingredients shine. You can always add salt to a recipe if it needs it, but it’s almost impossible to take it out! By starting with a low sodium broth or bouillon, you can build bright vibrant flavors and add more salt later if needed.
- Nutritional Yeast: not to be confused with bread baking yeast, nutritional yeast has a cheesy nutty umami flavor which is great in all kinds of dishes – I even sprinkle it on fresh popped pop corn and WOW! Also great in soups and pasta sauces of all kinds.
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen.
- Tellicherry Peppercorns: Like the salt, it’s amazing the flavor difference you can get with really good tellicherry black pepper. Amazon has a generic brand tellicherry peppercorn which is the same price is buying pre-ground, and has a million times more flavor… so I use these really great tellicherry peppercorns, which I would definitely recommend.
Make One Pot Pasta Vegan for a Plant-Based Version
This vegan one pot pasta is a simple way to get extra veggies in your diet. I’m all about making recipes plant-based when I can. Vegan cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make better meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my vegan recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and tasty recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.
Another awesome thing about this One Pot Vegan Alfredo is that the pasta makes its own sauce. The starch helps the sauce thicken without adding any additional flour or cornstarch. If the sauce is too thin, you can add more unsweetened milk. And if you prefer it thicker, you can add more nutritional yeast.
