This dairy-free Alfredo sauce is rich, creamy, and cheesy without any of the dairy. It's also naturally vegan, gluten-free, and nut-free!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups dairy-free milk (unsweetened) [I use 1 can coconut milk and 1/3 cup carton coconut milk]
  • ½ cup dairy-free Parmesan (I like violife)
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, sauté minced garlic with olive oil for one minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 2

    Add gluten-free all-purpose flour to the saucepan and whisk for about 1 minute until the flour is all absorbed and the mixture starts to form a loose paste.

  3. 3

    Add the dairy-free milk, dairy-free Parmesan, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper into the saucepan over low-medium heat and whisk constantly until the mixture comes to a light simmer.

  4. 4

    Let the mixture continue to simmer, still whisking constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens a bit.

  5. 5

    Remove saucepan from heat and let sit for about 5 minutes before serving. The sauce will continue to thicken as it rests. Serve hot.
