Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce. A simple creamy sauce coats the noodles with chewy, salty, smoky, bites of sun-dried tomato. Perfect for a busy weeknight meal, made from ingredients you probably already have in the pantry. Spaghetti carbonara is usually made with bacon and eggs, and this smoky lentil carbonara has neither.

This is an attempt to reinvent some of my favorite sauces without the dairy. I had fun with this one, came out creamy and had a wonderful sweet/smokey taste. Cheers to good food and fun! You can have Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce using 10 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.

Ingredients of Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce

It's 4 of garlic cloves chopped.
Prepare 2.5 cups of almond milk.

This was "picky kid" kid approved and will be a favorite for. Guanciale ( a cured meat) is also sautéed and added to the sauce. In my Vegan Carbonara, I use creamy cashews, buttery ground almonds and a little milk to replace the eggs. The cheese is subbed for nutritional yeast and the guanciale is replaced with smoky carrot rashers.

Vegan Smokey Carbonara Sauce step by step

Heat the tablespoon of oil on medium high heat. Once to temperature, add chopped onions and garlic. Cook until onions are translucent, about 5-6 minutes..
Lower the heat to medium, remove from heat and add a flower mix well..
Return to the medium heat and add the remaining seasoning (salt, pepper, nutritional yeast) and the almond milk. Whisk together on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes. Let the flavors combined and get used to each other :-) The sauce will thicken. If gets to thick add little more almond milk..
Once all ingredients have been combined and infused, turn off the heat and let sit to cool. This step is not necessary. I do this for I hate placing hot liquid on my blender..
Combine all these ingredients together in a blender and blend for about 3 minutes, or until smooth. This as you know all depends on how strong your blender is. Taste, may need mote salt..
Once blended, you will have a creamy sauce that you can use for just about anything! Use on pastas, meatball tacos, falafels, salads, etc. Imagination is key!.

I cook it in a similar way to traditional carbonara. This Vegan Carbonara is a full-on comfort meal made with savory tofu bacon and a silky sauce that is filled with smoky and cheesy flavors. It'll be a new family favorite! Spaghetti Carbonara was always a favorite of mine before going vegan. The sauce is full of gorgeous nutrients even though it tastes like melted cheese!
