Creamy Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Tofu Alfredo Pasta! Looking for a creamy pile of pasta loaded with veggies + cream sauce for dinner tonight? THIS IS IT! High in plant protein and packed with flavor, I have to stop myself from licking my plate every time I make it.

This is a very forgiving recipe. Firm silken tofu and vegan butter give it the most authentic Alfredo flavor, but it also works with firm tofu and olive oil if they are hard to find. Simply add an extra splash of broth or water until your desired consistency is reached.

For a SUPER high plant protein meal, toss with bean-based pasta and some vegan sausage. Delish!
