Garlic & White Wine Pasta with Brussels Sprouts

Swirling a fork in a plate of White Wine & Garlic Alfredo Pasta with Brussels Sprouts

This. Pasta. Tho.

I’ve made alfredo before, but this, this may be my new favorite.

Baking sheet with Bruseels Sprouts ready to be roasted for a gluten-free plant-based meal

What sets it apart? Garlic and white wine, which are infused into a classic white sauce paired with al dente pasta and roasted Brussels Sprouts. Now we’re talking.

Adding a splash of white wine into a pan for making Gluten-Free Vegan pasta

This recipe requires 30 minutes and 10 ingredients to make.

While the sauce is bubbling away and pasta is cooking to perfection, Brussels Sprouts are roasting until golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside. This is comfort food at its finest.

I hope you all LOVE this alfredo pasta! It’s:

This would make the perfect fancy weeknight dinner, or meal for hosting guests. We made this recently for friends – neither of which are dairy-free – and they devoured their whole plates.

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

BRUSSELS SPROUTS

  • 16 ounces Brussels Sprouts (halved)
  • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch each sea salt + black pepper

SAUCE + PASTA

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil or vegan butter
  • 4 large cloves garlic, chopped (yields ~3 Tbsp as original recipe is written)
  • 1/3 cup dry white wine (Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, + Sauvignon Blanc, are best)
  • 4 Tbsp arrowroot starch (or cornstarch)
  • 1 3/4 cup unsweetened plain almond milk
  • 4 Tbsp nutritional yeast
  • Sea salt + black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup vegan parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
  • 10 ounces vegan, gluten-free pasta* (brown rice pastas are readily available - or this penne from Bionaturae)

FOR SERVING (optional)

  • Garlic bread*
  • Simple green salad*

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 C) and add Brussels sprouts to a baking sheet (use more baking sheets, as needed, if increasing batch size). Drizzle with oil, and season generously with salt and pepper and toss. Arrange in a single layer and set aside.

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil (for cooking the pasta) and salt generously (~1 Tbsp). Set aside while preparing sauce.
  3. Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and garlic. Sauté for 3 minutes or until fragrant and very slightly golden brown, then add wine (see photo). Be careful - it may flame, but only briefly. Stir and sauté for 2-4 minutes, or until the wine has reduced by about half.

  4. Add arrowroot and whisk, then add almond milk and whisk. At this point, it will be very clumpy - this is normal. Transfer to a high speed blender and add nutritional yeast, salt + pepper, and vegan parmesan cheese. Blend on high until creamy and smooth.
  5. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast for cheesiness, or salt and pepper for more overall flavor.
  6. Transfer sauce back to the skillet and warm over medium-low heat until bubbly while whisking. The sauce should thicken, at which point you can lower the heat to low and simmer until pasta is cooked. If it looks too thick, thin with almond milk. If too thin, increase heat to medium to encourage thickening.
  7. Add Brussels sprouts to the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden brown and tender, stirring once at the 10-minute mark to encourage cooking.
  8. Around this time, add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package instructions (mine took about 7-10 minutes, so I did that last. You want the pasta and Brussels to be done around the same time).
  9. Once cooked, drained pasta and add directly to the sauce, along with half of the Brussels sprouts and toss to combine. Season with a bit more vegan parmesan cheese (optional) for extra flavor.
  10. Serve with remaining Brussels sprouts and additional vegan parmesan cheese for flavor. I also like a bit of red pepper flake, but this is optional.
  11. Best when fresh, though leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in the microwave for best results.

Notes

*For those curious, I also tested this recipe with Jovial grand gluten free tagliatelle. It contains eggs, but is gluten free and I thought it was nearly undetectably gluten free! But Trader Joe's brown rice + quinoa fusilli is another great choice that is vegan.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate calculated without additional toppings (more vegan parmesan cheese).
*To make garlic bread spread vegan butter and minced garlic onto vegan-friendly  baguette or bread and toast in a 425 degree F (218 C) oven until golden brown.
*To make a simple green salad, add a generous serving of greens to a serving bowl (we love arugula or chopped kale). To a small jar or mixing bowl add 3 Tbsp (45 ml) lemon juice and 5 Tbsp (75 ml) good olive oil and a pinch each salt and black pepper and shake or whisk vigorously to combine. Pour dressing on salad just before serving, toss, and serve.

    Love this recipe. I am the only vegan in my house (my 8yo son is vegetarian). This dish is one that my meat eating daughter keeps requesting. She’s lactose intolerant so she loves that she can eat this without her stomach getting upset. I truly love your recipes. I have so many of them bookmarked on my phone. I also found (as previous reviewer said), that if I dissolve the arrowroot powder in the milk at the very beginning and let it sit, when I add the milk and arrowroot, it dissolves without having to be blended. The only downside to that method, is that my picky kids complain about the chunks of garlic, lol! Thanks for all the great recipes!!

    Just a tip: if you put the cornstarch in a bit of water and then add it to the sauce mixture, you will not get any lumps. Not sure if it’s the same for arrowroot, but I would assume so.

    I have made this quite a few times and I’ve discovered that if you leave the milk-flour mixture in the pan (heat off) for about 10 minutes, and then whisk, the flour lumps dissolve, so if you want to save dirtying a dish (the blender) you can! Xo

    I brought this dish to a party and it was a hit! The resemblance to dairy-based alfredo sauce is uncanny. I’ve found that I have to use more almond milk to get the thickness of the sauce right—about 3 cups total. It might have to do with me using cornstarch instead of arrowroot, though. I’ve made this three times so far, and it’s quickly becoming a dinner staple for me :)

    Second time I’ve made this and just WOWS me every time. My husband and I are vegan for the animals and he requested this dish to be done weekly. Everyone cleans their plates clean. What I find curious is that it doesn’t taste like nooch even if it calls for a lot of it. It’s just the perfect balance, flavorful, creamy, rich. Awesome comfort food indeed. I switch the roasted veggies or just combine them. Loved it paired with roasted cauliflower. And extra vegan Parmesan, the one from here is THE BEST I’ve ever tried.

    Hi, This was my first attempt at a vegan
    Alfredo. I substituted roasted broccoli and carrots for the Veggie. I sauteed a chicken breast for my carnivore guy and served it sliced and tossed in the pasta. He is lactose intolerant so he enjoyed the chance to have alfredo. I could not get vegan parm at my grocery store so I used regular. It needed it to balance the strong flavor of the nutritional yeast .We could not tell it was made with almond milk. It was very tasty and satisfying. Thank you! I will definitely try more of your recipes as I continue my journey to healthier eating❣️

    This was delicious! It tasted exactly like regular alfredo (although I used regular parmesan instead of vegan)! I was a little intimidated by needing to use a blender and then reheat the sauce, but the whole process was so quick and smooth it wasn’t a big deal at all. Totally worth it for the final flavor!

This pasta is a staple in my household, whenever we have people over or just craving pasta, this is a classic. I was always a big fan of Alfredo in my non-vegan days and this is the perfect replacement. its creamy and carb-y and delicious, the Brussel sprouts really knock it out of the park. I highly suggest to anyone!

    Just made this tonight, scaled down to 1 portion. Absolutely loved it! What a decadent Alfredo Sauce, the best vegan white sauce I‘ve ever tasted. Creamy & Delicious. Didn’t bother with the blender, instead I added the flour first (not starch, just like a regular Béchamel), then the white wine & milk. Added a splash of pasta cooking water too. The Brussels were a perfect addition, soft and slightly caramelized they had some sweetness that paired very well with the cheesy sauce. Will definitely make again!

    Oh my god, this was the best alfredo I’ve ever had. I’ve been vegan for over 3 years and have been searching for an actually-good vegan alfredo recipe for that long… I’ve finally found it. We used a kosher pinot grigio from Trader Joe’s, and instead of brussels sprouts, I added sliced & sauteed baby bella mushrooms and spinach. It was so good, I seriously can’t believe it. Thank you so much Dana!!!

    I made this the other night and it actually surprised my how amazing it tasted. If you didn’t know it was vegan, it tasted exactly like alfredo sauce (or better!) I followed the instructions exactly and it came out perfect. Great left overs as well, just added a little almond milk to re-moisten. My boyfriend added some chicken since he isn’t vegan and he loved it.

    I made this a couple of times and love this recipe! Thank you for a delicious, more healthful version of the traditional Alfredo. I LOVE dairy, but unfortunately my body doesn’t, so this is a wonderful option that feels as rich and decadent as the original.
    I’ve also made it with roasted broccoli and tomatoes and that works well. Adding chopped basil is a nice finishing touch too. I’ve made it with the wine and then with broth, the wine gives it a nice zing.
    Thanks and I look forward to exploring your site more!

    I tried this recipe for the first time today. I used store bought alfredo instead (because I’ve never made it from scratch and it’s a weeknight so I have no patience for messing up ?), but I still sautéed garlic & white wine before adding the sauce. I also let my Brussel sprouts get a little crispy on the outside and seasoned them with lemon pepper & balsamic vinegar in addition to salt & pepper. It turned out great!! Will definitely make it again. Maybe I’ll get brave and try making the sauce in the future… ☺️

    Tip for reheating: I put the leftover pasta in a casserole dish with a little extra almond milk. Shredded brussel sprouts and olive oil on the whole top (to hold the moisture in). 350 in the oven for 15 mins. It tasted just like the fresh batch.

I used extra nutritional yeast in place of vegan parmesean and did end up adding extra almond milk to thin it out a bit (awesome rec).

    Delicious! I’ve made a ton of vegan sauces with cornstarch and they’ve all turned out a failure. So I was super hesitant to make this one, but I went ahead anyways. Not sure what went right but it thickened up perfectly! I think blending it was a really great idea that helped make it super smooth. I didn’t have any vegan parmesan cheese so I just added a couple of whole cashews to the mix and blended. Yummmmmmm!

    Hi, this was delicious although next time I will cook the brussels sprouts rather than put them in the oven. We liked the sauce a lot! And I am sooo glad with the vegan parmesan cheese I made earlier this week! I also have a trick so that the sauce will not be lumpy: you can preheat the almond milk or the wine. Then add all of it in one go and stir. Be careful though! It will rise in your skillet and cook. You will get a smooth mixture directly. After that you can put extra milk or wine if it gets too thick etc.

    As a newcomer to vegan cooking I have searched and tried quite a few vegan recipes, but I have never left a comment at any site until now. This is such a delicious, easy dairy free Alfredo sauce that I felt compelled to do so. I made this last night and just finished leftovers for dinner tonight, which I think were even better. Like another reviewer I used Trader Joe’s lemon papardelle pasta and the hint of lemon was very nice. I didn’t roast the Brussel sprouts – instead I just sautéed some shiitake mushrooms, and added frozen peas to the boiling pasta water in the final couple of minutes – the combination was simple but satisfying. Thank you for making my new vegan lifestyle a delicious adventure!

    The only thing that I did differently is that I added the cornstarch to half of the almond milk prior to adding them to the wine-garlic-olive oil mixture. I only did this because I tend to have better luck with cornstarch when I add it to a liquid prior to introducing it to the rest of the sauce ingredients.
    I’ve been a fan of your vegan parmesan cheese recipe for a while now, and I was glad that this recipe gave me an excuse to make another parmesan batch. This Alfredo recipe was easy to follow, and it turned out to be so tasty! Thanks for another great recipe!

    Dana- Is the 4 Tablespoons nooch plus 1/4 cup vegan parm listed in the recipe correct? Your sauce looks far too blonde to have that much nooch in it. I stopped at 1 T. plus the 1/4 cup parm and the cheese flavor is quite pronounced (though very delicious!) and the color is much more yellow than your pics. Any more and I think it would have become nacho cheese (also very delicious, just not what I want in a garlic wine sauce). A five star recipe either way.

    I’ve made this recipe a few times now—it’s one of my favourites—and this time I decided to mix it up a bit, and instead of Brussels sprouts, I added peas (put into the boiling water with the pasta right when it was almost done) and I served the pasta on top of some portobello mushrooms, and it was /really/ good. The mushrooms added a lot of really nice flavour.

    This recipe is one of my most favourite “cheese” sauce alternatives.

    Also, re the parmesan cheese, I discovered that I was out of cashews, but the sauce still turned out great after omitting.

    Thanks so much for this amazing recipe!

    Super good! My family is not gluten free or vegan so we made this with a couple adjustments – regular pasta and real parmesan since we had both “in stock”. I have been looking for a nutritional yeast recipe to try and have to say that this one is amazing! The white wine and garlic flavor really come through and the texture of the sauce is fantastic.

    I didn’t have any issues adding the white wine to the pan, probably because my pan wasn’t super hot. Since I used cornstarch instead of arrowroot I avoided any gumminess / chunkiness by making a slurry with the cornstarch and liquid before adding it into the pan. I did have to watch my sauce very closely when heating after blending, it went from very liquid to much thicker swiftly so take that into account while cooking.

    Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

    All the flavours were there… OH SO delicious…but….. oh so dry, gutted!!! I am confident it was something I did wrong (and not the recipe) but not quite sure what – maybe too much yeast? too much pasta?? perhaps I got the timing a bit wrong and let the sauce reduce too much…I am thinking a mix of all the above….any tips please? I am going to attempt making it again but this time – perfect it !!!

      Hi Skye! Oh no – We are sorry to hear that! I am not sure what went wrong but this dish shouldn’t coming out dry. Did you change the recipe at all? If the sauce was left too long and reduced, that definitely could have been the problem. Better luck next time!

        Now that I look back at the recipe – I did use cornflour instead of cornstarch – could the be the reason? And I probably left it too reduce too long. Can’t wait to make it again this weekend and get it right !! Also, what other veggies would best suit with this recipe?

          Hi Skye! Cornflour and cornstarch are very different ingredients and the swap up could definitely have been the reason it didn’t turn out for you! As for other veggies, asparagus would be a good addition!

    This is a GREAT recipe and one that I make often when I feel like carbo loading after an intense run :)

    Just fyi for the fellow vegans out there, be sure that the white wine you use is actually *vegan* because many white wines use egg whites as a preservative or refining agent. (I know, it’s so annoying that they do this – why?!?)

    A good tip is to use the Barnivore app to see which white wine brands are vegan (red wine is almost always vegan).

    Just a tip, hope this helps!

    I just made this and it was delicious! I’ve never cooked brussel sprouts nor vegan alfredo before so this was my attempt to make brussel sprouts I’d actually eat! This meal was quick and easy (had vegan parmesan already made). It turned out great (although I undercooked the pasta…I still don’t know exactly how to tell when GF pasta is done..some of the noodles were tender others were tough)! But as for the recipe, amazing. It has a wonderful creamy, cheesy texture that I never knew was possible without…CHEESE. Thank you honey for all the amazing recipes. You are helping me to transition to a meat and dairy-free life as well as getting me acquainted with GF cooking!

The only thing I would change is how much nutritional yeast is in… maybe I’m just not used to the flavour of it yet but it was a little overwhelming for me. Extremely straightforward and very tasty. :)

    I’ve gone from vegetarian to (mostly) vegan over the past few months, and my husband has NOT been into it. He has always been fine with vegetarian, but when I started cutting back on cheese he didn’t know how to deal with it. I wasn’t sure how this recipe would be received, since he is a big fan of dairy-based pasta sauces, but we both LOVED it. He didn’t even top his with real parm! I added a little extra vegan parm and a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce, and it was as good as any dairy-based alfredo I’ve had. I just finished the (very large) final helping for my lunch, and I’m so sad it’s gone. We will definitely repeat!

    Dana, it’s been a fabulous few days exploring vegan cheese options with your wonderful recipes. Last night I made eggplant roll-ups and tonight this Garlic Alfredo recipe! Both were amazing. The rollups felt fancy and special, while the Alfredo was comforting and nostalgic of my mom’s non-vegan Alfredo from childhood. I’m not vegan, but often cook vegan dinners. However, rarely have I ventured into recipes involving vegan cheeses. These two recipes have proven how absolutely delicious a vegan lifestyle can be and my stomach feels much better compared to eating regular Alfredo. THANK YOU! I feel so inspired and excited by your recipes. Keep on rockin’.

    Hi Dana! I made this last night and it was absolutely lovely. However, the sauce turned out more bitter than anything else. Could it be because I subbed the olive oil for coconut and accidentally burned the garlic a bit? Or did I not simmer down the wine enough? It was wonderful and we devoured it anyway, but I am just curious if the bitterness is a part of it or if it was a mistake on my end. Thank you for another wonderful recipe to add to our dinners!

    This was my first time cooking with arrowroot powder. (I normally use it as dry shampoo!) It added a really strange texture to the sauce. Before blending, it was very clumpy as was mentioned in the recipe, but after blending, the sauce became gelatinous and slimy. It was a fun experiment, but unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan of the sauce texture.

    I made this yesterday a couple hours before going to a Christmas potluck and it was a hit. The only thing I would recommend is making extra sauce to add when dish is re-heated, since it did get a little dry after cooling. I added extra parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper, delicious!!!

    Made this last night and it was INCREDIBLE! Your vegan garlic mac n cheese is a favorite in our household but this one might surpass it. I love that hint of white wine and the addition of Brussels sprouts just knocks this right out of the park. I left out the vegan parm and it was still delicious.

    I made this tonight! Instead of vegan cheese, I used parmesan (but still used almond milk). I also used some kale in place of some of the brussels because I only had a handful or so left. I can’t wait to make it again! It would be great with roasted tomatoes and basil, lemon and tempeh… the possibilities are endless!

    Made this for dinner tonight after a full day of work. SUPER simple, quick, hearty, and delicious! I didn’t have any brussel sprouts so I roasted a tray of zucchini and green beans. Absolutely perfect.

    Sidenote: I finished off my meal tonight with one of my final pumpkin spice mini vegan cheesecakes (your recipe) topped with warmed blueberries. Yesterday I made two loaves of your whole wheat bread (posted a vid on instagram lol), and a pot of the Peanut Butter Pad Thai from Everyday Cooking. I am on a Minimalistbaker ROLL right now and loving every minute of it. Thank you so much for the recipes girl, you are a wonder!

    I made this last night and was told by my non-vegan husband it was outstanding and one of the best dinners I’ve cooked. I did not need as much cornstarch and nutritional yeast, probably about 3/4 of the recipe amounts. Also my father in law got 3 containers of vegan sour cream on sale, so I used less milk and added sour cream. The flavor was amazing!

    FYI one of the other big hits with my family is your zucchini lasagna :)

    Made this tonight and loved it! My husband does not like nutritional yeast. :( That makes vegan cooking a challenge. I usually just omit it then add it to only my dish after it is cooked. So for this recipe I just omitted the nutritional yeast and vegan parm. Instead I added 1/4 cup of raw cashews and extra salt and pepper. For those saying the sauce is bland, like others have said, just added more salt and pepper. It turned out great! I topped my portion only with vegan parm.

    I am sooo fortunate to have seen this recipe! My husband doesn’t like Brussels sprouts, but he really liked this dish. I only like them roasted so to me this was great! As others have suggested, I can easily see this sauce with mushrooms, asparagus, or broccoli and even as a white pizza sauce (perhaps then with additional roasted garlic). Thank you for your great recipes and culinary inspiration!

    I very rarely comment but must tell you how delicious this recipe turned out !! I haven’t found a vegan alfredo…ish recipe as delicious as yours. I used a good quality Pinot Grigio and we had the rest with dinner !! A non vegan friend who was visiting loved it and preferred it to the original finding that too rich tasting and caloric. She insisted on a copy the recipe and I sent her off with a baggie of nutritional yeast and your blog url ! The balance of flavours is perfect and I wouldn’t tinker with it as some have done. Would be great with mushrooms too. Thanks for a great recipe !!

    Ever since this arrived in my email not too long ago, I have been dreaming of making this dish. It turned out 100% heavenly!
    Substitutions: I didn’t have arrowroot, so I googled that rice flour can be subbed in 3 tbs = 1 tbsp of arrowroot. I added approx 9 instead of 12 tbsp of rice flour, and I found this made my sauce quite thick. I had to after ad approximately another cup of almond milk and spices to thin it out. Could have added even more but I got lazy. Possibly could have saved ~ 1/3 for use in another dish.
    My pasta turned out more saucey than I’d like, but it tastes delicious so I don’t mind!

    Made tonight w/excellent results. Could’ve gotten away with only 2-3 TBSP of arrowroot, but doubling up on almond milk worked great, and, since I have a tendecy to over-season, having a bit more sauce worked out well. Used pappardelle egg noodles…your vegan parm has been my money-saving go-to for almost 3 years…red pepper flakes were an excellent touch…the few glasses of the leftover sav blanc to have with it was the ultimate pairing…omnivore hubs had seconds…looking forward to leftovers for lunch tomorrow. You’re a genius. Thank you.

    Made this last night for myself and my husband. It turned out nicely :) We had the perfect amount of wine leftover to use in the sauce, and it imparted a wonderful depth of flavor. And the sprouts were perfection in this meal. Love this! We will definitely have this over and over again during the long winter months. We are vegans, and often crave a comforting, satisfying but versatile dish to add to our repertoire. I can imagine using different kinds of pasta, asparagus, etc to change up the flavor combinations. Thanks, Minimalist Baker!

    *A couple of additions for added protein – rounds of vegan kielbasa lightly sautéed from a previous meal, a bit of black beans and a bit of navy beans (also leftovers from the previous night).

    *Substitutions – Flour instead of arrowroot, and 365 brand whole wheat linguini (purchased at Whole Foods Market).

    I just made this for lunch…its amazing! I did not have almond milk so used canned coconut milk. I used an immersion blender for blending it (eliminates the messy transfer to blender) and it turned out so creamy and delicious. I think you could easily substitute other veggies for the Brussel sprouts when they are no longer in season…I’m thinking broccoli? Good work, minimalist baker =)

    I’ve been an avid follower of Minimalist Baker for a while, and I must say, I have yet to be let down by a recipe! That said, this is the first comment I have ever left, because this dish was absolutely PHENOMENAL.

    I’m a vegetarian (very slowly and carefully attempting to make the transition to veganism) and cheese lover, though cheese does not love me back. I’ve been working on (again, slowly) eliminating dairy from my diet, and this recipe was absolutely both mind-blowing and life-changing. Seriously. You would NEVER know that the sauce was dairy-free! I used cashew milk and fusilli instead of almond milk and linguine/fettuccine, and although I needed to use more milk to keep the sauce from getting too thick, everything turned out perfectly. The sauce was thick, creamy, and CHEESY. Even the timing for the Brussels sprouts ensured that they were perfectly caramelized and golden brown. I used a full package of pasta (16oz), which ended up making around 3-4 large servings total.

    I immediately sent this recipe on to my sister, who has a severe lactose intolerance, and I can’t wait to hear what she thinks!

    I look forward to making this again. Especially as I hope that the coordination of the roasting, sauce and pasta boiling will be easier next time (I get flustered with multiple things due at the same time :) ).
    I used fresh vegan pasta, which only needs to cook a few minutes, so I switch the pasta pan on when the sprouts go in the oven and work on the sauce in the meantime.

I made it with asparagus instead of Brussels because that’s all I had on hand, but with one bite I was in vegan heaven. I actually became vegan 6 months ago and started to look up tons of new recipes because I didn’t know what to cook .

    Another Hit… I am no chef… But the minimalist baker is my first stop when I am looking to cook something new and delicious… I have never been let down by a recipe and this one is no exception. I was nervous with sautéing the garlic… And with good reason… I ruined it on my first try… I let the pan get TOO hot before putting the oil and garlic in… So I dumped it and retried and even thought the parts didn’t come out in the right order… The meal was a hit with my wife who before tonight swore that she hated Brussels sprouts… Well she loved the meal and we both feel stuffed from a much smaller portion than normal…

    Great JOB this one is a hit… Next time I will take the time to make the vegan Parm recipe that you have… I made it before and I know it’s good too!

    I just made this. It was really goood. There was just enough for our family and it was cheesy and yummy. However, because of not being vegan I did change it slightly so I will post what I did here in case someone else wants to do it as well.
    I sauteed some garlic and then instead of wine I used chicken broth. I let it simmer for a bit then made the roux with flour because I couldn’t find my cornstarch. It had a few lumps but my husband said “it’s not homemade if it doesn’t have a few lumps”. Then I added half n half instead of milk because I had it on hand. Then I added colby jack cheese (about a cup). It came out very tasty. While the pasta was cooking, the Brussels Sprouts were roasting with salt/pepper/onion/garlic. When all was done I mixed it up and ate it up. Of course my picky son did not eat the spouts part of it, but like I stated in the beginning-the pasta was devoured! Thank you.

    Made this last night and it was SO good! I think my only mistake was letting the sauce get a bit too thick, and maybe overcooking the pasta because it became a little sticky. I used a food processor instead of a blender to blend the sauce which worked perfectly. I used probably only about 12 ounces of pasta, and it was plenty for my boyfriend and I and I still have some for lunch today – which I’m very much looking forward to!

    For those saying the corn starch made it gummy… yes, that’s what corn starch does. It’s 100% taken care of in the food processor. And for those saying it’s bland… easily solved in my opinion by adding a bit of salt or red pepper flakes or more nutritional yeast. Mine had more than enough flavor!

    So, I made this tonight, but I had to make some adjustments, Dana. The wine going into the oil/arrowroot mix did exactly what you described-gummy. But the splattering of the wine to oil was a huge mess! My pan was probably too hot-my fault. I started over and subbed for flour after sautéing the garlic, then I added the wine. Seemed to work better for me, then I didn’t have to put in a blender. I also switched from olive oil to vegan butter. Now to eat! Thank you for the delicious recipe!!

    I made this last night and it was soooooo yummy. I do not have dairy intolerance so I used whole milk and cheese in place of the non-dairy alternatives. I did not transfer the sauce to a blender, but instead used my immersion blender directly in the saucepan. I was concerned because my sauce frothed up (likely because of the milk), but after warming it back up on the stove, it incorporated just fine. I suspect mine was thicker because of the use of dairy, so I had to add more white wine (fine by me!) to thin it out. I absolutely loved the consistency of the sauce! I did not miss the butter/roux one bit in this white sauce- it didn’t coat my mouth like other fatty versions. The roasted sprouts pair perfectly with the flavorful white sauce, especially the crispy bits! Thank you for concocting hearty and satisfying meat-free recipes!

      I’m wondering how the sauce could be bland with garlic, white wine and nutritional yeast! I also cook a lot with white wine and it always adds a great flavor. Maybe your problem is that you didn’t salt the sauce enough? Salt improves the flavor too.

        I followed the recipe & like the idea (Brussel sprouts with cream sauce), but it seemed like the nutritional yeast overpowered all other flavors. No one in the family liked it, we don’t have gluten problems so will stick with a similar roux cream sauce m the almond milk in the future.

    It is nice to read a brussel sprout recipe that isn’t focused around Christmas day or Thanksgiving only. So many people think that sprouts are just one for one or two days of the year and end up not making the most of this seasonal and healthy produce! Great recipe to include sprouts in a quick and easy meal!

    Can anyone recommend a good dry vegan white wine that I can keep stocked for cooking? I always come across recipes like this for sauces or risottos that call for white wine. It’d be nice to just have a couple bottles in my cabinet. Anyone have a go-to kind that works in most recipes?

    Made this last night I did 1/2 the recipe for 2 of us and it was plenty for a main entree. Very good will make again. Only thing I did to change it was dissolve the cornstarch in about 2-3 tablespoons of the milk to a thin paste add the nutritional yeast stir till smooth and add to the garlic,white wine mixture, you must continue to stir on a med heat so it does not turn lumpyIt was smooth no need to put in blender,eliminates one step and the extra wash up!

    Another winner :-) I had made gluten-free and regular ziti for my fam for tonight, and made this for myself. Guess what everyone ate? You got it! This recipe is very versatile-I can’t wait to make it again and have your “Garlic Parmesan Green Beans” from Everyday Cooking as a side-the flavors are perfect! I even messed up and added equal parts nutritional yeast and vegan Parmesan it was fine! Very THICK sauce, my peeps love it!

    I think this is my favorite Alfredo that you have mastered, too! Thank you, Dana!

      This was delicious. Definitely will make again! The Brussels sprouts were perfectly cooked, not too soggy and not too crunchy, just right. Flavors of the vegan cheese and sauce were nicely balanced.

    I made this tonight for supper and it was soooo good! I had all of the ingredients at home, except for the white wine, so I used vegetable broth as others suggested, and then I found it needed a little more acidity so I added a squirt of lemon juice, turned out great!

    This was delicious! I subbed cashew milk for the almond milk and didn’t have time to make the parmesan so I used 1/4 cup salted, roasted macadamia nuts instead. Yum. Super creamy.

      Nutritional yeast isn’t like other yeast, so you may be fine with it. It is pretty crucial in this recipe – it gives it that cheesy flavor!

          Hi Holly. Nutritional yeast is an ingredient that adds a cheesy flavor and yellow color to the sauce. If not vegan, you can simply sub your favorite cheese, such as parmesan (more info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_yeast). Hope that helps!

    That’s a lovely recipe. So are many of your recipes. It’s a beautifully done website. I wonder, though, whether this recipe needs so much fat to be as delicious as it sounds. Five tablespoons of olive oil is off the chart for most low-fat vegans (and there are lots of us). I’m guessing substituting vegetable broth for the sautéing part and tossing the Brussels sprouts with a teaspoon or less of olive oil for the roasting part and still have a delicious meal. Some people will of course want the fat, but you could mention such alternatives, or, better yet, come up with your own. What do you think?

      That’s a great idea to reduce the calorie content on this splendid dish! I’m guessing most people who prefer a low-fat recipe will be clever enough to figure out how to reduce the fat by not putting as much in, as you suggested. Fat carries flavor though, so it will taste different. I prefer to avoid unnecessary sugars myself (maybe I’m a low-sugar vegan?), so this recipe works well for me as is. In any case, I don’t think anyone can really expect the author to include variations of all her recipes to suit the many different food mantras that exist. She already goes beyond the call of duty in addressing the dairy and gluten-free options.
