Vegan Alfredo Bow Ties
My favorite vegan cheese sauce…
Pretty much all my life I’ve eaten cheese so when I made the change to more of a plant based lifestyle that was a toughie for me. I tried so many vegan cheeses and most were ultimate fails. Like totally gross. I realized you have to make vegan cheese yourself if you actually want it to taste good. And trust me you totally can. How do I know? Well duuuh because I make em’! Not always my specialty but it’s something I’m still learning. I have my faves and this happens to be one of them and also my go to for a quick dinner.
Let me just talk about this alfredo sauce real quick. I literally lick the bowl (I get cray like that). Is that bad to admit? I remember the first time I made this I had no self control and I was licking utensils like they were going out of style. Got. To. Have. Alfredo. Sauce. Now. It’s just one of those things you keep eating and saying to yourself “OMG this is sooo (grunting) good!” Followed by a ton of Mmm’s. And your like stomping your foot on the floor. I know I’m getting carried away here. I love that you can make this and have leftover cheese for a possible dipping sauce? For spoons? Or anything that is dippable? Is that even a word? Well it is now.
Ok I won’t hold out any longer…I’m hitting it out of the park with this one (and the crowd goes wild). haha

This looks absolutely delicious! Alfredo is one of my all time favorites, so I am so pleased with this recipe…thanks for sharing!
And btw I totally understand you, vegan cheese from store is just bad. Not always, but never as good as the real deal. But homemade ones can be soooooo good 🙂
Thank you so much and you’re so welcome. Glad you like it.
And yes it’s so true, store bought vegan cheese can be bleh with a selected few. =)
I am new to Vegan eating. Is there is substitute I can use for coconut butter, such as earth balance “butter”? Or can I purchase this? I don’t have a whole foods etc near me.
You can use any vegan butter. The Earths Balance coconut spread just happens to be my favorite. Keep me posted on what you use. =)
