If you’re looking for a super creamy, unbelievably delicious vegan alfredo that just happens to also be lactose free, grain free, nut free, soy free, and gluten free look no further than right here. ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ Because we’ve got it covered. We’ve folded our Vegan Alfredo Sauce with mushrooms and Fusilli Corti Bucati pasta. ๐
If you haven’t heard of this pasta before. It’s a tight spiral shaped pasta that gets it’s shape from the ancient tradition of rapidly twisting a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle with a skilled hand. Fortunately, all we need to do is buy it at the supermarket.
If you’re not a mushroom fan. No worries. Leave them out of the dish. This Vegan Alfredo Sauce is delicious on it’s own. The mushrooms are an added bonus. To make this sauce you don’t need much more than cauliflower, extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, nutritional yeast, and a powerful blender. You’ll be able to color your loved ones impressed because it’s amazing how saucy and “cheesy” cauliflower can be transformed with no added dairy! So let’s get cooking!
