Tried and tested vegan creamy pasta sauces

my son is dairy free and my daughter egg free. im making my own pasta today and wanted a yummy sauce rather than the regular tomato based ones. anyone have any tested recipes as some dairy free sauces etc just dont taste great lol

use soy, almond or rice milk. Maybe goats cheese.

I posted a yummy vegan Alfredo sauce recipe on page 6 of the Easy and Tasty Vegetarian recipe thread that I will bump up for you.It is a yummy recipe, I use lots of mushrooms and sometimes use fresh peppers and sometimes the roasted peppers you get in a jar at the supermarket.
I add more garlic when the sauce is nearly ready and taste it adjusting seasonings if necessary.I also add 2t of white miso at the end sometimes although that isnt necessary.

Best wishes, I hope you can find a satisfactory sauce :-)

yeast flakes! they give it the cheesy taste.

Some yeast flakes are better than others. I find the light yeast flakes are better than the darker variety.

agreed rizuba and frances1266 , I think of yeast flakes as being "nutty" too
