This was really good. My husband’s response was, “Best meal I ate in a long time.” And, he is a meat eater. At first it was really liquidity. But, don’t be worried. I wondered if I did something wrong, but reducing the liquid through simmering it thickened it like real Alfredo sauce. Can’t wait to try the baked beans recipe.
I love it. I made vegan lasagna using the Alfredo Sauce instead of tomato based pasta sauce. My son liked it. Thank you!
I just bought your weekly menue planner for $4.99 using pay pal. Well, i had not updated my paypal account in some time so a very old email address was on file. The transaction went through. The download instructions are in that email and i cannot axcess them. Aparently my user name and password are incorrect. Can’t even change them be ause I dont know either one. Blah blah. Is there anyway you coukd se d it to my current email? bluexebracloud@gmail.com?
Hi Anne, Do you by chance know the order number or old email address that was used in the paypal transaction? Our ordering system allows for resending download links to updated email addresses. I just need to know the order number or email address that was used for the purchase so I can find the order to issue the new download link email to your new address.
Is almond milk ok to use in place of soy milk?
Yes🤗
Mike,
made the sauce using almond milk, texture was still a little grainy. I thought this might be related to the almond versus soy milk. Sauce taste is interesting but I was disappointed with the soy fetticini noodles. I will try some sauce on whole wheat fettucini. 8/9/18.

I liked this as well!! The problem I had was my gluten fettuccini stuck together in a big clump. I also added broccoli to my sauce and next time I make it im definitely going to get that Onion powder from Amazon!
Part 2..…. I tried another gluten free fettuccini that worked perfectly! Not only did I add broccoli I added extra onion and garlic. If I didn’t forget mushrooms at the grocery store I would have added that too!! Love this recipe!
Jill, what about freezing the sauce? I would love to make a big batch like that and freeze it, because it is just my husband and I so I could portion it into freezable containers for future use. Does it freeze well, or at all? Recommendations?
I haven’t tried freezing it and my guess would be that after it defrosts, it might separate and be chunky. =(
I am going to try this as the creamy sauce in a “Sonora Pasta” dish. Here in the Northeast USA we have a chain restaurant called Ruby Tuesday’s and this was one of their dishes, “Sonora Chicken Pasta” and I managed to get my hands on the recipe. I made the original recipe years ago for my daughter and she was blown away! Time to try it VEGAN style and oil-free! This alfredo sauce will be the creamy/cheesy sauce I will use.
I’m about to make this and I’m just wondering if you considered putting garlic in it? Isn’t there normally garlic in Alfredo sauces?
You can absolutely add garlic
