When you think alfredo, you think dairy, with dairy mixed in, with dairy sprinkled on top… well we have good news! That’s not the case here. Alfredo sauce can be made without cheese or milk, and despite what some say, it’s actually quite easy to make. Enjoy this plant-based, totally dairy-free alfredo sauce on your favorite pasta within a matter of minutes!
Add in your favorite pasta with a little salt and oil.
16 oz Pasta
Cook until al dente. Be careful not to overcook, as you will get some additional cooking once the pasta is added to the sauce.
Vegan Alfredo Sauce
In a small bowl, mix flour and olive oil so you get a thick paste. This is called a roux and it is great for thickening soups and sauces without any clumps. Set this aside for now, you’ll need it to thicken the cheeseless alfredo.
1/4 Cup Flour, 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
In a separate large saucepan, pour in your oat milk and heat it up over medium heat. Do not allow it to boil.
2 1/2 Cups Oat Milk
Slowly stir in your roux about a teaspoon at a time until the sauce starts to thicken. Keep in mind that you will likely not use all of the roux that you made. Be patient, as it takes some time to start thickening the alfredo and it will only get thicker as it cools as well.
