This tofu alfredo sauce recipe is a total vegan comfort food, that is so much healthier 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.

Make Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce Vegan for a Healthy 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 healthier 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 healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.

The Best Blender for the Job

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!
