1/4 cup soy butter
½ cup vegan cream cheese
2 t garlic powder
2 T coconut milk
½ t salt
1/8 t ground black pepper
1 pound rice spiral pasta, shells or spaghetti
4 oz cooked *Gluten free ham, bite size
½ cup cooked peas
Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add vegan cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add coconut milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with coconut milk if cooked too long. Stir peas and ham into sauce. Toss with hot pasta to serve.
*Tip-Hormel Natural line of deli meats are Gluten Free. Whole foods also has GF and CF meats in the deli.
This is as good as an Italian restaurant's alfredo!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to find an alternative sauce for pasta. I searched on line and found an Alfredo sauce that was made with cream cheese instead of cheese and cream. So I substitued vegan cream cheese, soy butter and a little bit of coconut milk for the cream. And I now have one of Mac's and mine favorite pasta dishes! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI made this today and didn't have any of spiral pasta I usually use. I had some Notta Pasta (rice) Linguine. It was really good!
