Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce is made into vegan Alfredo sauce and classically served with fettuccine pasta. Dinner turns fabulous with a super easy and delicious sauce made from scratch. It can be made ahead of time too so that dinner can be served in about 15 minutes.
Doesn't this look like perfect comfort food to you? It does to me too and it even comes out of a new cookbook titled Vegan Comfort Cooking.
It's a new book and is written by Melanie McDonald. You may already be familiar with Melanie and her recipes as she runs the vegan food blog A Virtual Vegan.
I'm also able to share one of these 75 Plant-Based Recipes with you. They will 'Satisfy Cravings and Warm Your Soul'.
The reason I picked this cashew Alfredo sauce is that, first, it's Alfredo Fettuccine and, second, because the sauce has lots of roasted garlic added.
The sauce is so simple and the garlic blends into the creamy sauce effortlessly.
I took some pictures of the sauce ingredients so you can see they are very accessible ingredients. Everything is included except the garlic. They are roasting at the moment.
You have a choice of using almond flour or ground almonds and leave it to me I did half and half. The ground almonds are underneath the almond meal. You can see it in the food processor in the next photo.
Ah! There are those beautifully roasted garlic cloves. It is two whole heads. You wrap the garlic in a foil packet and then roast until they are soft. The cloves pop right out of the peelings with just a pinch.

I haven't made this yet but what does the wine vinegar add. If acidity isn't the lemon juice enough. I don't want to buy something else I'll never use again.
Ginny McMeans
It's for flavor Danielle. White wine vinegar can be used in many things and keeps a long time. It is milder and brightens up the taste.
