Vegan Alfredo Sauce with Pesto and Pasta of Course!

Witness a truly heavenly match-vegan alfredo sauce meets pesto. Why is this not a bigger thing? It is simply divine!  In this episode of #LunchBreakLIVE, two time TEDx speaker Rachel Parent will show us how it is done.

Rachel began with the alfredo mixture of almond milk, flour, vegan butter, and a pinch of salt. Once that was well blended, she moved onto the pesto sauce. She threw the pesto ingredients in…garlic, basil, olive oil, and walnuts, and blended. Then she mixed that in with the Alfredo, added some cooked noodles, and she had this amazingly fresh and creamy dish that combines two longtime favorite Italian dishes–Alfredo and Pesto. Now that’s a relationship I want to see last forever! My new favorite dish. If you’re oil-free, you could heat up the pan and just use the almond milk, flour, and salt stirred together. And in lieu of oil in the pesto, add more nuts, as they’ll provide plenty of oil once they’re blended together.

Now Back To The Vegan Alfredo Sauce, Pesto Style!

I love me some alfredo!  Pasta alfredo was a favorite of mine when I was a kid, and still is!  Now you can have homemade vegan alfredo sauce…with a twist!  Alfredo and pesto sound like a delicious combination, so I am certainly going to try this recipe!  I am posting it below so you too can give this one a try.  The way Rachel made it looks divine.  The secret to alfredo is the creaminess, and it appears that she totally nailed that part!  So if you love creamy alfredo and you love pesto, this pasta is for you!
