Cooking with Trevor: Dairy-Free Alfredo

Cooking with Trevor: Dairy-Free Alfredo Welcome to another episode of Cooking with Trevor! Today, we’re making a delicious Dairy-Free Alfredo that’s both creamy and comforting, without any dairy products. Whether you're lactose intolerant, following a vegan lifestyle, or just looking for a lighter alternative to the traditional Alfredo, this recipe has got you covered. The key to this Dairy-Free Alfredo is using simple, wholesome ingredients that come together quickly to create a smooth, rich sauce. To start, we sauté fresh garlic in olive oil to release its aromatic flavor. Then, we add in plant-based milk, such as unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, for the creamy base. A little flour or cornstarch works wonders to thicken the sauce. One of the best things about this recipe is its versatility. Instead of heavy cream or butter, we use a combination of plant-based milk and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast. The nutritional yeast gives the sauce a cheesy, savory taste that perfectly mimics the richness of traditional Alfredo. A squeeze of lemon juice adds just the right amount of brightness, balancing out the flavors beautifully. Toss the sauce with your preferred pasta once it is ready—penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti are all excellent choices. Roasted vegetables like spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms can elevate the dish. This Dairy-Free Alfredo is not only quick and easy to prepare, but it’s also a guilt-free, healthier alternative to the classic dish. Get ready to enjoy a creamy pasta dish without the dairy—perfect for every occasion!
