Non-Dairy Alfredo Sauce image

I've been craving alfredo sauce lately, and this is the best non-dairy substitute I've found! Don't tell your family it contains tofu, I bet they'll never guess! The recipe is from www.veganchef.com. You can reduce the soy parmesan to make it healthier, although I wouldn't go below 1/2 cup because it does add a lot of the flavor.

Time 20m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (12 1/3 ounce) package mori-nu firm silken tofu (I use light) or 1 (12 1/3 ounce) package extra-firm silken tofu (I use light)
2 cups soymilk (or other non-dairy milk of choice) or 2 cups rice milk (or other non-dairy milk of choice)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
1 pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup vegan parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, place all of the ingredients, except the soy parmesan cheese, and blend for 2 minutes to form a smooth puree.
  • Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and cook over low heat while stirring constantly until warmed through (I turned it up to medium and it was fine).
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the soy parmesan cheese.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings, as needed.
  • Use as a sauce for pasta, vegetables, or grains.
