For this recipe, I opted for the freshest cauliflower from Josie’s Organics, a company deeply rooted in organic farming traditions. Their commitment to sustainable practices and high-quality produce resonates with my values, and I find their ingredients truly elevate my dishes.
Crafting Your Creamy Vegan Alfredo
This recipe is incredibly easy to follow, making it perfect for both seasoned chefs and kitchen novices. Let’s gather our ingredients and embark on this culinary adventure together!
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 16 oz pasta of your choice (I prefer penne)
- 2 cups pasta cooking water
- 1/2 block firm tofu, drained
- 1 (15 oz) can white beans, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups cauliflower florets (I highly recommend Josie’s Organics)
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp garlic (fresh, powder, or minced)
- 1.5 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Cook your chosen pasta according to the package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, steam or boil the cauliflower florets until tender.
- Once cooked, add the cauliflower to a high-speed blender along with the white beans, tofu, pasta cooking water, nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If needed, add a touch more pasta water to achieve your desired consistency.
- Drain the cooked pasta and pour the creamy vegan Alfredo sauce over it.
- Stir well to coat the pasta evenly and enjoy immediately!
Tips and Tricks from Robert Kline Art
- For a richer flavor, try roasting the cauliflower before blending.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat.
