Yes you can enjoy an amazing Alfredo sauce minus the dairy, flour and fat.  No really. You can! Just follow the simple recipe below and find yourself in dairy-free, fat-free, gluten-free, Alfredo bliss.  And tell me what you think after you try it by posting in the comments below!

Freedom Alfredo Sauce  (free of dairy, fat and gluten)

2 cups unsweetened plant milk (I like rice milk – just make sure it’s unsweetened)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
4 TBS white miso (brown miso doesn’t work for this, it must be white)
4 TBS organic corn starch (I tried other starches – corn works best and you may need to adjust the volume up or down with potato, rice or tapioca so use caution if you substitute)
1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp black pepper

Add all ingredients into a high speed blender and whirl away until well-mixed.  Pour into a large sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring often with a wisk to prevent sticking or clumping.  Once the mixture starts to boil, turn down to low heat and stir until it thickens, usually 2-3 minutes depending on your stove.

Turn down to simmer until you’re ready to serve.

Pour over your favorite gluten-free pasta and enjoy! Top with some vegan Parmesan (Brazil Nut recipe  or my original recipe) and freshly chopped basil for a little extra treat.
