Vegan Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce - Includes How-To Video! (And Dancing)

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Oct 19, 2023 · published: Oct 27, 2015 · About 3 minutes to read this article. 2 Comments


I had SO much fun doing this video recipe a few weeks ago with super talented YouTuber Sharzad Kiadeh, via her "My Dancing Kitchen" video recipe series. This Vegan Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce is super rich and creamy with accents of fresh ginger, maple, rosemary and more. This sauce is perfect as a fall-inspired pasta sauce but can also be served as a Pumpkin Bisque. So versatile!

Get the recipe and watch me show off some Britney moves in Sharzad's kitchen as we make this dish!..

Fun + laughter + a recipe = perfect.

Blender recipe. Thank you Vitamix.

The velvety sauce. Actually doubles as a soup if you thin it out a bit..

Vegan Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce

This super creamy, savory and warming pumpkin pasta is a delightful recipe for fall. Rosemary and white miso add a savory accent, while maple syrup adds a hint of sweetness. Ginger and cayenne add some warmth yo each satisfying bite.

  • 1 cup raw cashews, soaked (soaked in water at least 6-8 hours and drained)
  • 1-2 teaspoon raw ginger, grated
  • 6-8oz veggie broth
  • ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • a few pinches cayenne (to taste for added warmth)
  • 1 teaspoon white miso paste (or add a bit more salt, since this is salted)
  • 2-3 teaspoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste (at least ¼ teaspoon salt)
  • 1 lb pasta, cooked
  • garnish: fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

  1. Add all pasta sauce ingredients to a Vitamix or other blending appliance.
  2. Blend until silky smooth. Taste test and adjust spices and salt if needed.
  3. Cook pasta according to package.
  4. Warm up your sauce by blending on the highest Vitamix speed for 2-4 minutes. Or by simmering in a small soup pot until warm.
