“Creamy” Vegan Mushroom Alfredo Sauce Recipe
Here’s how to make the most delicious and creamiest Vegan Mushroom Alfredo Sauce.
Sometimes it’s tough to refrain from eating your former favorite foods.
Well, that is no longer a problem with this creamy alfredo sauce!
Vegan Mushroom Alfredo Sauce
This vegan alfredo sauce is made with mushrooms, cauliflower, and a few other ingredients. And, you will no longer miss the dairy in alfredo sauce.
It’s low-fat and it’s free of the “no” foods. It’s even savory and satisfying, even with the healthiest ingredients!
You can make it for you husband or wife – or for you guests, and they will probably never suspect it is dairy-free.
If you are looking to make it even healthier, you can eat it over zoodles, which are zucchini “noodles.” Or butternut squash or a grain-free pasta like Banza chickpea or Felicia green pea pasta.
Additionally, you could also eat it as a soup.
No matter how you eat it, you can’t go wrong with this creamy vegan mushroom alfredo sauce!
"Creamy" Vegan Mushroom Alfredo Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 cup water (use the leftover water from steaming the cauliflower)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tsp Himalayan pink salt or sea salt
Instructions
1. Steam cauliflower florets until they are mushy to the touch. (Over cooking is helpful.)
2. Heat a saute pan & add coconut oil.
3. Saute garlic until golden and fragrant. Remove from pan & set aside.
4. Add mushrooms to the pan & saute until softened. Add a little water as needed to prevent sticking. (Avoid adding additional oil to keep your dish low fat & your liver happy.)
5. When done sauteing, add cauliflower, water, garlic and salt into a blender. Blend until smooth.
6. Stir in mushrooms by hand until well combined.
Serve immediately!
