Ingredients

For the Alfredo Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic (minced)
  • 4 ounces Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup plain almond milk (unflavored, unsweetened; at room temperature)
  • 2 ounces Tofutti Better Than Sour Cream (¼ cup, at room temperature)
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon miso paste
  • ½ teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • dried or fresh herbs (optional)

Serving Suggestions

  • veggies of choice (optional; see Notes)
  • 4 servings cooked pasta (or cooked zoodles)

Instructions

  • Heat medium skillet over medium heat. When pan is hot, add butter and heat until melted, swirling pan occasionally to distribute butter.
  • When butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté one minute or until garlic is fragrant.
  • Add Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese to skillet. Immediately reduce heat under pan to medium-low.
  • Let cream cheese melt slightly. Add almond milk, sour cream, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and miso paste to skillet and whisk until mixture is very smooth and heated through.
  • Whisk in ½ teaspoon salt and desired herbs (optional) and taste. Adjust seasoning as needed, then stir in any veggies if using, pour sauce over cooked pasta, and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes

  • Veggies: A totally optional mix-in! Broccoli florets, baby spinach, roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, diced mushrooms, green peas - anything you like will work here, or you can enjoy the sauce as-is.
