There’s a new dairy free alfredo sauce in town, and it couldn’t be easier to make. This one tastes scarily like the real thing! Creamy, dreamy and so delicious.

Even though it’s vegan, it’s quite rich and nothing like the cauliflower versions you’ve probably tried. I’m sorry, but blended cauliflower and garlic just doesn’t equal creamy Alfredo! The sauce base is made with hummus one of my favorite dips to have on hand. I made the sauce by accident I didn’t have the standard Alfredo ingredients and I had hummus and thought why not and boy does it deliver.

All you need for this dish is

  • olive oil
  • onions
  • bay leaf, kosher salt
  • pasta – can use your favorite gluten free or regular
  • nutritional yeast
  • almond milk
  • chicken – love grabbing a grocery roasted chicken
  • lemon juice

You can make everything homemade or take some store shortcuts and have a delicious meal the whole family will love! Happy cooking XOXO
