Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Add the remaining ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until creamy and smooth with no lumps remaining.

Pour the sauce in a medium saucepan or skillet and heat over medium until warmed through. Toss in cooked pasta until the pasta is fully covered in the sauce.

Serve and enjoy! I served mine with fresh basil and some diced sun dried tomatoes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Silken Tofu Selection 🧈
Use only silken tofu (not firm or extra-firm) for the smoothest, creamiest sauce texture—it blends into a velvety puree without graininess.
Blender Power Matters 🔄
Use a high-powered blender for at least 90 seconds to fully emulsify the tofu and plant-based milk, creating a luxuriously smooth sauce without lumps.
Low-Temperature Heating 🌡️
Heat the blended sauce on low-to-medium heat while stirring constantly to prevent curdling and maintain the creamy texture—never let it boil.
Nutritional Yeast Blooming 🌟
Add nutritional yeast directly into the warm sauce rather than the cold blender mixture to intensify its savory, umami flavor for a more authentic Alfredo taste.
Hemp Hearts as Secret Thickener 💪
Blend hemp hearts thoroughly into the sauce—they add protein and natural thickening power without starch, resulting in a coating consistency that clings beautifully to pasta.
