July 27, 2019 by Tami - No nuts seeds or tofu-
This Vegan Alfredo Sauce is smooth and creamy and reminds me so much of the non vegan one I used to make but it is so much healthier. It’s all about texture and flavor and trust me when I tell you this one has an amazing silky texture and is bursting with flavor. Tom and I fight over licking the spatula when we make it! It’s a challenge to get a rich tasting sauce without using nuts, seeds or tofu but I did it with simple easy to assemble ingredients that everyone can find. I think this Alfredo Sauce is a game changer for a healthy lifestyle.

THE RECIPE
1 pound cauliflower florets
1/2 cup hot water
4 cloves garlic
3/4 cup unsweetened plant milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 teaspoon Table Tasty salt substitute or your favorite salt substitute
2 tablespoons rolled oats
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes - optional if you don’t like the kick red pepper flakes give a recipe feel free to reduce or omit it.
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the hot water in the stainless steel liner of a 6 quart electric pressure cooker along with the garlic cloves and cauliflower. Put the lid on and close the valve, set the timer for 1 minute and use quick release. When the pressure comes down remove the lid and carefully transfer the water, cauliflower and garlic to a high powered blender container, add the rest of the ingredients except for the red pepper flakes. Process until smooth and creamy about 1 minute. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
Serve the Alfredo Sauce over zucchini noodles or your favorite type of noodle. To heat up the zucchini noodles I put them in a microwave safe dish covered and microwave for 2 minutes. You can also heat them up gently in a nonstick skillet until warm. If you cook zucchini noodles too long they will get watery. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
NOTES
Please note that I tried many different variations of this recipe and this was our favorite combination of ingredients. I don’t know what will happen if you substitute other ingredients or change the quantities. Recipes are just an idea and personal tastes are an individual thing. For me it’s perfect as is but for someone else it might be too much flavor or for some it might not be enough. Feel free to tweak and alter all you desire!

Wow this sauce is fantastic!! I can't believe this is made with simply cauliflower. I'm sitting here just eating the sauce with a spoon and I can't stop haha! Thanks for another awesome recipe Nutmeg Notebook!
🌺 That’s awesome!
I just made this recipe....SO delicious!!!! I am hooked!!! My niece also tasted it and she doesn't like regular alfredo sauce but she LOVES this version! Tami - thank you so much for sharing your recipe!
Glad you liked it!!
Tammy I've been watching you for a long time I've been looking for you you do a wonderful job
Thank you so much!
Thanks for posting this video. Seems like most plant-based people like to make their Alfredo sauce with cashews. My daughter is severely allergic to cashews, so finally we will be able to have a healthy plant-based alternative without the nuts. Thanks again!!!
You are so welcome! Enjoy - it's one of our favorites!
Tried this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. My two granddaughters ate it. One said, “I can tell this is healthy Alfredo sauce, and I really like it.” The other grand is more challenging to cook for. If it’s sweet or high-fat she loves it. But I throw in the healthy foods as much as possible.
That is wonderful - thank you for sharing! If you haven't already be sure to subscribe to the blog and get yout 2 exclusive subscriber only recipes at www.nutmegnotebook.com

Nutmeg Notebook I’m already again thank you for all you lovely videos I enjoyed it so much!
Hi Tammy: I just made your recipe for dinner. It was delicious. I did use tarragon instead if dried basil. It was excellent. I will do this again. I finally got to use my zodell machine.
Wonderful!
No idea why I don't make this more often. Just made it along with your video, and you should see me eating the sauce by the spoonfuls...:-) (I have to taste it to make sure it tastes ok...don't I?)
Someone has to be a taster!
This was absolutely the best cauliflower sauce I have ever made! Thank you so much for everything you share!!!
I’m so glad you like it!
This looks wonderful. Now I want to get a spiralizer.
Marilyn B. They are easy to use and zucchini noodles are fun to eat!
I bought some zucchini today and have a sprializer on order.
Looks delicious! I've made two different vegan alfredo sauces in the past. They have been ok, but nothing like what I use to have before going vegan. I've made cheeze substitutes with cauliflower, so I already know this well be bomb!!
I am trying more Vegan food preparation, so it's nice to find something that has few ingredients. I will definitely try this soon.
Enjoy!
I make this with same ingrediemts, instead of califlower I use soft or silken tofu... So delicious💚

Thank-you Tammy (& Tom) for all your videos--I love them all. I found you through Chef AJ and gosh, all the UWL community of "vloggers" are all so wonderful. I have learned a lot from your videos and you always make it seem easy with your thorough explanations and links. I wonder if you are/were a teacher in your career as you seem like the perfect teacher. I can't wait to try this alfredo sauce as I think I could smell it while I was watching!!
Thanks Tami! It looks really good. I need to get some cauliflower from Costco and some zuchinni and I will be making it this week!
Looks so good! I’m going to try it. I have a nacho cheese version on rotation, but to have an Alfredo. Yum! I also appreciate the zoodle demo. I had no idea how to cook them. I tried boiling the zoodles and the became so watery:( I’ll try the microwave next time!
Thanks Tammy , your tutorials are so encouraging.. Alfredo sauce, really looking forward to this, I just got given two cauliflowers, perfect.😊😊

Thank you Tami and Tom! I generally don 't care for nutritional yeast but I will definitively make the sauce. (Thank you for adding the links too. I've got few Holland Mill bowls, but I'll get the Benson Tasty and the yeast).
Thank you for watching! I find the Sari brand of Nutritional Yeast to be very mild in flavor.
Thank you so much for the recipes. I love watching your videos

Thanks for this recipe! Looking forward to trying it. Question - can you freeze this? After watching so many of your videos I'm guessing your answer will be - try it and see how it works. Just wondering if you or any others have already tried freezing it and how it turned out. Thanks in advance!
I have not tried freezing it. Give it a try and see what happens and let me know.
Never use warm water from the faucet, that is water out of your hot water heater, better to use cold water that is heated in the microwave, or just use cold water.
If you turn the handle in the opposite direction it will cut the noodles.
Thank you!
Mary Karen wow. I didn’t know that. Thanks! Love this recipe and watching ALL your videos..
Could this be used on a homemade pizza as a white sauce? Thanks so much for your help!
I don’t know what would happen with it on a crust in the oven. Haven’t tried it. You’ll need to try it and see how it works! Sounds yummy.
The recipe sounds wonderful! I have a question about the zoodles. How long do you microwave them for , so they don’t get soggy and watery? Thanks so much for the great recipes and help you and Tom share!
Just microwave for 2-3 minutes just enough to warm them but not cause them to release their water. Then the hot sauce heats them up more.

Nutmeg Notebook ,thanks for the clarification on the zoodles. I’m already subscribed , according to your mail chimp statement, but I don’t get any emails from you guys. I just go to Nutmegnotebook.com to see recipes. Am I confused?? Thanks!
Could you use frozen cauliflower?
Which blade did you use for the zoo does?
👏👏👍🏻👍🏻☺️
I made the sauce today, and was disappointed at the strong cauliflower taste. I had it on a baked potato and veggies. It was OK, the texture was smooth & silky, the flavor was edible with more spices, but not like alfredo at all. I'm sure the proportions were correct. Anyone have a thought or recommendation?
We all have different taste preferences, many people love this recipe as do I, but feel free to tweak it to suit your taste buds. I can’t instruct you on what to change because we love it as is. You may just need to look for a recipe that doesn’t use cauliflower.
@@NutmegNotebook Thanks Tami, I'm thinking maybe half cauliflower, half cooked potatoes. I'll give that a try. Thanks to you and your hubby for all your hard work and great content!
Thanks for the recipe . I was wondering though What can I sub for the oats I'm low carb ?
I don't know because I follow a starch based diet. Thank you so much - glad you liked it. Thank for you watching. If you haven't subscribed yet please do and be sure to visit the blog and subscribe there too. www.nutmegnotebook.com
I don’t have a vitamix blender. Does a regular blender work?
I don’t have a regular blender but you can try and see how it goes.
How long do you microwave your zucchini noodles?
Just a couple minutes.
Just made this Alfredo sauce again and it’s so good. How long does it last in the refrigerator?
It lasts for 5-6 days for us!
Can you freeze this sauce?
Can this sauce be frozen? I have a lot of fresh cauliflower
I have never tried to freeze it.
Hi tammy after the rolled oats go in what is the order the spices go in? is it the same order under the show notes i am interested in making this
Hi Tammy you have a mealthypot right? how long should i steam my cauliflower for in the mealthypot?
It should be the same amount of time in any brand of electric pressure cooker. Happy cooking!
Hi! I just made this today. I was curious about one thing. After 1 min on high pressure in the IP my cauliflower was very hard still. I cooked it an additional 2 minutes and it was still fairly firm. I am wondering if it didn’t steam very well because I only used 1/2 cup of water? Is it supposed to be fork tender before putting in the vitamix? Thank you.
Sherismiley yes it should be completely cooked and tender before going in the blender. This is what works fir me but appliances vary and it can also depend on how big the pieces of cauliflower are. I hope it all turned out good for you! 😊
Nutmeg Notebook I just figured out what I did wrong. I had two huge chunks of cauliflower. I figured it didn’t matter if I cut them into smaller pieces but I guess it does. Lol! Thank you for your input. Yes .. I liked it and plan on putting it on mashed potatoes for dinner tonight.😊
Thank you for letting me know - I’m glad you figured out! Enjoy!
How would you cook the cauliflower if you don’t have a pressure cooker?
I would use a stove top steamer basket in a pot and steam until tender. you will just need to test it with a fork.
Happy Cooking
Tami
No pressure cooker 😏
Then just cook your cauliflower on the stove top or the microwave oven.
Just made a double batch, do you think the sauce could be frozen?
I have not tried that yet, try freezing a small portion and thaw out to test . Happy Cooking
Where does your protein come from in this meal? ☺️
We do not worry about getting enough protien as all plants contain it. I also would be eating some kind of starch on the side with this dish, Like an air fried sweet potato. This sauce also works great over a baked potatoe with some steamed broccli if you wanted a sincle more substancial dish.
Happy Cooking
Apology.... Tami
I love your recipes and have subscribed to your channel. However; there's something very important I want you to know, American's and North American's are the biggest consumers of pre-peeled garlic in the world. Thousands of Chinese prisoners are forced to sit in a room with about 100 other men and peel mountains of garlic for 14-16 hrs. a day. Their nails eventually rot and fall off, so they then resort to using their teeth. If you throw a number of cloves in a bowl and put another bowl upside down on top of it, then shake, voila, peeled garlic. Just wanted you to know. You can watch the show "Rotten" on Netflix (at least I think that's where I saw it) and you'll never want to buy pre-peeled garlic again. Keep making your wonderful step-by-step video's, and have a good day.
Hello Ms. Casey We did see the ducumentary and were equally alarmed. We do buy our garlic form the Christopher Ranch Brand and had checked on their response to the documentary. Trader Joe's where we sometimes buy it did source thier garlic elswhere but now gets their garlic from Christopher Ranch and not from China. When we drive through Gilroy on our way to the coast we love bieng able to smell the garlic. We also spot the truckloads of it on the highway. When you are following the semi truck you can smell it as well. Here is the link to the Christopher Ranch story.

Thanks

Tami, since Greger in his latest q & a said there's nothing to worry about with fortified nooch, and the fact that your brand here is "on sale" at almost half the original price which is still DOUBLE the price of fortified, and the fact that it's more expensive to add ingredients than to leave them out: how is this not price gouging?
I happen to love the flavor of the Sari brand - it tastes so much better to me. I will continue to buy it as I use very little of it in just a few recipes now and then. The great thing is we can all choose to do what is best for us personally.
@@NutmegNotebook golly I wish that was true. I think that being able to run again and play sports again would be the best thing for me, personally, except I can't afford ACL surgery. I'm forced to do the second-best thing for me personally, which is walk as straight as possible without making any sudden lateral movements to avoid tearing the ligament completely. All I can do is pray that Bernie wins the primary, doesn’t get assassinated, and that Russia doesn't steal another election for Trump. But I digress. I still don't understand how that nooch company can conscionably charge that much for an unfortified product
