Notes

This Vegan sauce is incredibly rich and creamy. This is a dairy-free sauce with a delicious savory, cheese-like flavor.
This sauce is perfect for serving with your favorite pasta, but also great with Vegan gnocchi, roasted vegetables, rice, or zucchini noodles.
Ingredients for sauce:
  • Milk of choice – free to use any milk you want. I recommend using unsweetened varieties, such as almond or soy. Almon milk is universal and can be used in a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Soy milk provides a certain thickness to the sauce, but if you want it extra creamy use coconut milk.
  • For garlic – for this recipe I used garlic powder, but if you want you can use roasted garlic. The roasted garlic will give more flavorful and complex notes. To make the roasted garlic, cut the top of the garlic and wrap it in aluminum foil with some olive oil. Roast the garlic for 40-60 minutes at 350F.
  • For the cheese flavor – I went with simple nutritional yeast, but you can use Vegan parmesan.
How to store the sauce?
You can store the leftover sauce in the fridge, in an airtight container for up to 4 days. If you want to prep your sauce, you can and it will keep great in a fridge until serving.
To freeze the sauce place, it in a freezer-friendly container and store it for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw the sauce overnight, then reheat in a saucepot over the stove.
