Tofu Alfredo Pasta Sauce Recipe (Vegan, High Protein)

This tofu alfredo pasta sauce recipe is a creamy vegan fettuccine alfredo, made lighter and tastier. Dairy free, gluten free, and high protein.

This creamy alfredo sauce is made from silken tofu to give it richness and texture, and delicious spices & garlic for an amazing flavor and taste.

This tofu alfredo sauce recipe is a total vegan comfort food, that is so much better than a restaurant sauce. I absolutely love tofu, and I can’t believe it took me so long to come up with this recipe.

This creamy decadent pasta is ready in about 20 minutes, and the sauce is made right in the blender.

We gave this one a full 10/10 for flavor!  It was SO good with a big side salad and garlic bread. Even if you don’t love tofu – you have to give this one a shot.

This Tofu Alfredo Recipe Is:

• Decadent
• Rich

Make Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce Vegan for a Plant-Based Version

This vegan fettuccine alfredo sauce 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.

What’s In Vegan Alfredo?

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!

• Garlic, Parsley, Cashews 
• Gluten Free Fettuccine Pasta – I love a good classic fettuccine noodle to go with this creamy alfredo sauce. I used a gluten free pasta for this, but you can use different type or or a bean pasta instead too!
• Shelf Stable Tofu – I have been LOVING these shelf-stable tofu packs from Amazon. I literally have 3 cases of them in my pantry as we speak.
• Herbs de Provence: my favorite spice blend! This French blend has a mix of rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory for a wonderful and complex flavor.
• 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 sauces of all kinds.

The Best Blender for Sauces

This tofu pasta sauce recipe is easy to make using a blender. I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my Vitamix is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients into pulp. 

I prefer using my blender to my food processor for sauces like this or homemade hummus, as it’s much easier to clean the Vitamix. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis!

How Do I Make Vegan Alfredo Sauce Recipe?

1. In a large pot, boil water and place pasta in the pot. Cook according to package instructions.
2. In a blender, add the tofu, garlic, cashews, herbs de Provence, soup base, and nutritional yeast. Once pasta is done cooking, carefully add 1 cup of the pasta water to the blender. Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes until ingredients are well combined.
3. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce. Stir in parsley and add salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
