Healthy and Easy Vegan White Bean Alfredo

April 27, 2017 Filed Under: Meatless Main Courses

Alfredo sauce is wonderfully rich and creamy and loaded with calories and fat making it a “sometimes” food. This Faux-fredo, aka White Bean Alfredo, is a healthier vegan alternative that I can enjoy anytime.

White Bean Alfredo

Besides being healthier than traditional Alfredo sauce, this version whips up in a matter of minutes, making it a wonderfully quick weeknight meal.

The roasted garlic taste is wonderful, but truthfully it is missing the gooey cheesiness of true Alfredo. If you aren’t going vegan or vegetarian, feel free to add in some Parmesan cheese when heating the sauce.

    I cannot wait to try this recipe. I’m assuming the first ingredient is supposed to say cannelini or northern beans. Great idea, thanks for sharing.

    I’ve kinda always preferred white sauce to red, so I love the idea of using white beans to make alfredo sauce…and yay for garlic! *-*
