Tired of the usual Bolognaise (tomato based) sauce for your spaghetti? Love alfredo sauce but find it too creamy & calorie laden?

Try this : Vegan Alfredo Sauce which has no cream but is still 'creamy' & healthier!

VEGAN ALFREDO SAUCE (for those who like it hot, hot, hot)

What you'll need . . .
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion chopped in big chunks
4 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 cup water
2`teaspoons spicy brown mustard
1/2 cup walnuts (raw)
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons paprika
1 cup nutritional yeast -- check with organic, health grocery shops
salt (to taste)
fresh black pepper (to taste)

Method . . .
Heat the olive oil in the skillet, add onions and saute 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Add garlic, saute 2 more minutes.
Transfer to the blender, add all the other ingredients and blend.
It turns out smooth -- and I'd suggest adding a bit more soy milk to make it thinner. Ours turned out really thick . . . and, well, extremely filling! Almost too much so . . .

*This amount should be enough for 4 servings of pasta
