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.

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

Add all pasta sauce ingredients to a Vitamix or other blending appliance.
Blend until silky smooth. Taste test and adjust spices and salt if needed.
Cook pasta according to package.
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.
