Vegan Veggie Pasta "Alfredo"



Holy deliciousness!!
Made this on a whim for dinner tonight and it surprised the hell out of me!

What you will need:
-Whole Wheat Penne Pasta
-Shallot
-Garlic
-Olive Oil
-2.5c Unsweetened Almond Milk
-3-4 Tbsp All Purpose Flour
-Cherry Tomatoes
-Broccoli
-Salt and Pepper





Slice tomatoes in half , drizzle olive oil and a pinch of salt on top and get them started baking on 400 (they need a good 20-25 minutes baking)

Boil water and start cooking the pasta

In the meantime... Saute the shallots and garlic in a dash of olive oil for 4-5 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium and gradually start adding a tablespoon at a time of flour to 1/2 cup of almond milk in pan. Whisk it to try and keep it from getting clumpy. Turn down to low and let it simmer and thicken.

Start to spoon out penne noodles and add to the "alfredo" Continue stirring sauce and noodles together simmering.

Steam broccoli (2-4 minutes) until they turn brighter green.

Add broccoli to noodles and sauce.
Add tomatoes to noodles and sauce.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
