Healthy and Easy Vegan White Bean Alfredo Sauce

April 27, 2017 Filed Under: Meatless Main Courses

White Bean Alfredo is a healthier vegan alternative to traditional high fat Alfredo Sauce.

Besides being healthier than traditional Alfredo sauce, this Faux Fredo whips up in a matter of minutes. Perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

The roasted garlic taste is amazing! 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 for a texture closer to the original.

    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! *-*
