This Oat Milk Alfredo Pasta recipe offers a creamy, dairy-free alternative to traditional Alfredo sauce, using unsweetened oat milk and a simple cornstarch thickener. It’s perfect for those seeking a plant-based, gluten-free pasta dish that is rich in flavor yet light and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Pasta and Sauce

  • 8 ounces pasta of choice (use certified gluten free pasta if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened oat milk
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain well and set aside to prepare the sauce.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and starts to brown lightly, enhancing the flavor base of the sauce.
  3. Simmer Oat Milk: Pour the unsweetened oat milk into the pan with the garlic and olive oil. Maintain a medium-low heat and cook until the oat milk starts to gently simmer. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare Cornstarch Slurry: In a small bowl, combine the corn starch with cold water, stirring until fully dissolved. This slurry will help thicken the sauce without lumps.
  5. Thicken Sauce: Stir the cornstarch slurry into the simmering oat milk sauce. Continue stirring continuously for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the thickened sauce, tossing well to ensure every strand or piece is evenly coated with the creamy oat milk Alfredo sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta for a burst of color and freshness. Serve the dish hot immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free pasta if you require a gluten-free dish.
  • Make sure to dissolve the cornstarch thoroughly in cold water to avoid lumps in the sauce.
  • You can adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or pepper according to your taste.
  • For extra richness, a little nutritional yeast can be added for a cheesy flavor without dairy.
  • Serve immediately as the sauce tends to thicken further upon standing.
