Creamy Oat Milk Alfredo (Gluten-Free and Vegan)
Description
Creamy Oat Milk Alfredo starts with sautéing minced garlic in olive oil to release its aroma over low heat. Oat milk is then gradually added with oregano, nutritional yeast, and salt to build flavor and body. Tapioca flour dissolved in cold water is mixed in, thickening the sauce into a creamy consistency as it heats. Lemon juice added off heat lends a subtle brightness, balancing the richness. This sauce is tossed with freshly cooked pasta to coat each piece evenly. The recipe uses oat milk and nutritional yeast as main ingredients to keep it both vegan and gluten-free, replacing traditional dairy components while still providing a rich mouthfeel.
