Vegan Alfredo Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix flour and olive oil so you get a thick paste. This is called a roux and it is great for thickening soups and sauces without any clumps. Set this aside for now, you’ll need it to thicken the cheeseless alfredo.1/4 Cup Flour, 3 Tbsp. Olive Oil
- In a separate large saucepan, pour in your oat milk and heat it up over medium heat. Do not allow it to boil.2 1/2 Cups Oat Milk
- Slowly stir in your roux about a teaspoon at a time until the sauce starts to thicken. Keep in mind that you will likely not use all of the roux that you made. Be patient, as it takes some time to start thickening the alfredo and it will only get thicker as it cools as well.
