Creamy Zucchini Alfredo (Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free)

This recipe uses our creamy garlic herb sauce to make a delicious Pasta Alfredo that is completely plant based, oil-free, and gluten-free!  

Ingredients:

– 5 zucchini, spiralized (here is the spiarlizer we used, but any spiralizer will work!)

– 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth

– 2-3 cups mushrooms

– 1-2 cups creamy garlic herb sauce (see recipe here)

– 3 cups spinach

Directions:

– Heat ½ cup vegetable broth in a saucepan or wok, and add 2-3 cups sliced mushrooms. Stir frequently.   You should not need to add much more broth to this because mushrooms have a lot of water in them already. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring frequently.

– After 20 minutes of cooking, drain out some of the excess broth / water in the mushrooms, then add the creamy garlic herb sauce into the saucepan and mix. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

– In a separate pan, heat 2 cups water on medium heat.  Add 3 cups spinach, and let cook down for 1-2 minutes, or to desired texture.  Drain the water.

– While the spinach is cooking,  heat 3-4 cups water to medium heat. Add spiralized zucchini, and heat for 2-3 minutes. You don’t need to let the water boil, or let the zucchini stay in the water for too long, because they can overcook quickly.

– Strain the zucchini noodles, add the strained spinach, then add to the creamy mushroom sauce. Stir, and enjoy!

– Add red pepper flakes for some spice!
