Lovely Alfredo

[honeybee2]

This was really yummy.

It has simple ingredients, all of which I - incredibly - had in my kitchen! The only difference was that I didn't have soy milk, I had some whole grain oat milk or something. I also added about 2-3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast at the end.

So, the sauce was tasty - although I think it was more of a garlic sauce than an Alfredo sauce, it was more liquid-y and less cheesy-creamy than an Afredo. I loved the touch of lemon. We served it w/ whole wheat pasta and a brocoli/green bean/tofu combo. (We had marinated the tofu the night before w/ wine, Mexican spices and garlic powder.) We gobbled it all up in like 5 minutes.

Some ideas I want to try out next time:

less soy milk
add some flour in at some point (not sure when the best time in the  process is for that so the flour doesn't get clumpy)
definitely nutritional yeast again, maybe some vegan parmesan
diced tomatoes

All in all, a tasty and very easy to make recipe - Thanks!!

I added mushrooms to it and wow, my stomach is happy. :-)

Thanks for submitting this recipe!

add some flour in at some point (not sure when the best time in the  process is for that so the flour doesn't get clumpy)

you could whisk together a small amount of water or soy milk with a tablespoon or so of flour; if you whisk it well, you can add it probably the same time as the soy milk/tofu mixture and you shouldn't have any clumps. i haven't tried this recipe but i think it might be on the menu sometime this week!

HOLY CRAP! this was soooo good. i quartered the recipe because it was just me tonight, and i more or less eyeballed the amounts, but oh my goodness, i was not expecting this to taste so good!!! i figured it would taste rather tofu-ish and i'd have to dump a lot of nutritional yeast in, but there was no need whatsoever. the only thing i changed was to add a little bit of olive oil to the margarine/garlic mix so it wouldn't burn (even though i had it on low!) i used a little less than one small garlic clove and that was enough for me; next time i might use a little less veggie cube (i used one half of a rapunzel sea salt & herbs bouillon cube; i probably should have just used a quarter. it was still amazing, though).

i used penne pasta and sliced green beans (cut on the diagonal to match the penne) plus matchstick slices of zucchini, as well as a handful of peas and fresh mushrooms. with all those added veggies, it made a rather big plate, but because the sauce was so delicious i ate it all!!!

i think i will make this again sometime this week so the bf can enjoy it, too.  thanks so much for the recipe! it is sure to be a staple.

This was very nice and and creamy.  Had no asparagus so steamed some fresh green beans and tossed with pasta. 

I used an 8 oz box of fettucine and there was too much sauce left, only used half, will save for tomorrow.  I did add 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast to sauce at the end and definitely had to add salt.  I also chopped a basil leaf and added to sauce.

This one's a keeper.

This was so good!!  Who would have thought these ingredients would make something very very similar to alfredo and better than any I have ever had to boot!!  The nonveg boyfriend thought the sauce was a little strong but he ate it and thought it tasted delicious too.  You are a genius.

This recipe was delicious!  It was very easy and quick to make.  Thankyou!

This is by far the BEST alfredo recipe I've come across.  Almost all the other ones I've tried use nutritional yeast and they just don't taste right.  This one though was so good it even fooled my omni friends at a dinner party we had!

This was very good!!!
I followed the recipe for the most part, but I did add some sun-dried tomatoes when I was blending the Tofu/ soy milk.
I used broccolli and cauliflower for veggies...
Yum!!!

My god this is lush... don't use canned/jarred garlic because its just not as good as the real thing. Best vegan pasta dish I have ever had! Thanks for sharing 

[brntheart]

totally wonderful! i added broccoli and portabello mushrooms and red onions and some fake chicken strip things. it didnt need any of that because the sauce rocks!

mmm sooo good! except i made a coulple changes. for one i used vanilla soymilk, not on purpose but because thats all i had. second i had no boullian cube although it would probably be delish with that too. But in absence of one i just added parsley, chives, nutmeg, salt and pepper. then in a separate pan i sauteed 1 sweet onion, some small portebello mushrooms and frozen peas. then i added all of that to the sauce. When i first tasted it it was kind of vanilla-y which was to be expected. But this morning after it had sat in the fridge for the night it was deliciousssss i think it just took awhile for the flavors to mingle. Having said all of that, it was soo good and i'll definitely be making it on the regular. thanks so much for the recipe!
